Ligament

/ˈlɪɡəmənt/ noun

A strong, flexible band of tissue that connects bones to other bones at a joint. Ligaments help keep joints stable while still allowing movement.

From Latin *ligamentum* meaning “a band, tie,” from *ligare* (to bind, tie). The word keeps the image of bones literally being tied together.
