Etymology of SQUAMOFRONTAL

The word "squamofrontal" combines two roots: "squam-" and "frontal".

The root "squam-" comes from the Latin word "squama", meaning "scale". It is related to the scales found on the skin of fish or reptiles.

The root "frontal" refers to the forehead or frontal bone, which is the bone that forms the forehead in humans and some other animals. It comes from the Latin word "frontalis", derived from "frons", meaning "forehead" or "brow".

Therefore, "squamofrontal" is a compound word that suggests something relating to both scales and the forehead or frontal bone.
