Antebrachia

/ˌæntɪˈbreɪkiə/ noun

Definition

Plural of antebrachium; the forearms or the region of the arm between the elbow and wrist.

Etymology

From Latin 'ante-' (before) + 'brachium' (arm, from Greek 'brachys' short), literally 'the arm before the hand.'

Kelly Says

Your antebrachia are far more complex than they look — they contain two bones that can rotate around each other, letting you flip your palm up or down in ways that arms can't in other animals.
