Definition
In anatomy, a muscle that wraps around or encloses another structure; from Latin meaning 'going around or surrounding.'
Etymology
From Latin ambiens, the present participle of ambire (to go around, surround). It's used in scientific Latin terminology, particularly in medical and anatomical naming.
Kelly Says
Medical Latin is full of these participial forms that describe what body parts do—ambiens literally tells you 'this muscle goes around something,' making anatomy names actually meaningful if you know Latin!
