Relating to, composed of, or resembling an aponeurosis; characteristic of the fibrous sheets that attach muscles to bones.
From aponeurosis + -ic (adjectival suffix). Medical terminology that allows physicians to describe tissues and conditions related to these structural elements.
When doctors say something is 'aponeurotic,' they're describing tissues that are flat and sheet-like rather than thick and cord-like—it's the difference between a rope and a piece of fabric doing the same job.
