Characterized by or relating to muscle tissue or muscular conditions affecting the extremities of the body.
From Greek akron (peak) and myodous from myos (muscle) and the adjectival suffix -ous, forming an alternate medical adjective form.
This suffix variation (-ous instead of -ic) shows how medical terminology developed multiple versions of the same word until modern medicine standardized the language.
