Etymology of SUPRACOTYLOID

The word "supracotyloid" can be broken down into two parts: "supra-" and "cotyloid".

The prefix "supra-" comes from Latin, meaning "above" or "over". It is commonly used in medical terminology to indicate a position or location above a particular anatomical structure.

The term "cotyloid" is derived from the Greek word "kotylē", which means "cup" or "cavity". In anatomy, the term "cotyloid" is used to refer to structures that resemble a cup-shaped socket, such as the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint.

Therefore, when combined, "supracotyloid" suggests a position or location above the cotyloid or cup-shaped structure, typically denoting an anatomical relation or description.
