A small arch or arched structure; a diminutive form of arcus, often used in anatomy or architecture.
From Latin 'arculus,' diminutive of 'arcus' (arch/bow). The '-ula' ending indicates something small or slight.
In marine biology, arculae are tiny arched structures found in certain organisms—nature seems to love the arch shape because it's so structurally efficient!
