Relating to or affecting the terminal or distal parts of the tarsus (ankle bones or insect leg segments).
From Greek 'akron' (tip) and 'tarsos' (flat surface, ankle), creating an anatomical term describing the extreme or distal end of tarsal structures.
Doctors and entomologists use acrotarsial to pinpoint exactly where on your ankle or on an insect's leg something is located—it's the precise language that prevents mixing up anatomical positions.
