Definition
Plural of apex; multiple tips, peaks, or highest points of structures, particularly used in anatomy and botany.
Etymology
From Latin 'apex' (tip, peak) directly pluralized in the Latin form '-ices.' It's the standard plural used in scientific contexts rather than the English 'apexes.'
Kelly Says
In your mouth right now, if you have all your adult teeth, you have 32 apices—one at the bottom of each root—and dentists can see them all on an X-ray to check for hidden infections in those invisible tips.
