Visible or palpable throbbing or pulsing of an artery.
From arterio- (artery) + palmus (Latin for pulsation). Derived from Latin palpare (to feel or touch). Medical term describing observable arterial beating.
A visible 'pulse' in your neck or wrist is arteriopalmus, and sometimes it becomes uncomfortably visible or forceful—people with hyperactive thyroids often notice their neck pulsating noticeably because their metabolism is racing.
