Definition
Plural of arthron; joints or articulations of the body, particularly used in medical and anatomical terminology.
Etymology
From Greek 'arthron' meaning joint or articulation, fundamental to medical terminology. The plural 'arthra' follows Greek declension patterns and appears in formal anatomical contexts.
Kelly Says
Though 'joints' is more common in modern English, 'arthra' survives in technical Latin terms because anatomists preserved Greek roots for precision—it's how 'osteoarthritis' uses it to mean joint inflammation.
