Etymology of INFRACOTYLOID

The term "infracotyloid" is a medical term used to describe the anatomical region beneath the cotyloid fossa.

The word can be broken down into two parts:

1. Infra-: a Latin prefix meaning "below" or "beneath".

2. Cotyloid: derived from the Greek word "kotylē", meaning "cup". Cotyloid is used in anatomy to refer to the cup-shaped part of the hip bone (acetabulum) that holds the femoral head.

Combining these two parts, "infracotyloid" literally means "below the cotyloid" or "beneath the cup-shaped part (of the hip bone)".
