Etymology of SPLANCHNEMPHRAXIS

The word "splanchnemphraxis" is a term that has been coined by combining two Greek roots: "splanchna" and "emphraxis".

1. "Splanchna" (σπλάγχνα) is a Greek word that refers to the internal organs or viscera. It is derived from the Greek noun "splén" (σπλήν) meaning "spleen", but it was extended to encompass all the softer internal organs of the body.

2. "Emphraxis" (ἔμφραξις) is a Greek word that means "blockage" or "obstruction". It is derived from the verb "emplēthēnai" (ἐμπληθῆναι), which means "to fill up" or "to block".
