Etymology of QUADRICIPITAL

The word quadricipital does not have an established etymology. It appears to be a combination of quadri- meaning four and cipital which could be speculated to come from the Latin word caput meaning head. However, it should be noted that quadricipital is not a standard term in English. The correct medical term for the muscle group at the front of the thigh is quadriceps.
