Etymology of SUBCORACOID

The word "subcoracoid" derives from a combination of the Latin prefix "sub-", meaning "below" or "under", and the anatomical term "coracoid". "Coracoid" comes from the Greek word "korakoeides", which literally means "like a raven" and refers to the shape of the bone. In human anatomy, the coracoid process is a projection of the scapula (shoulder blade) just below the shoulder joint. By prefixing "sub-" to "coracoid", the term "subcoracoid" indicates a location or position below or underneath the coracoid process.
