A conjoined twin or double-formed creature connected at the atlas region of the spine.
From 'atlanto-' (relating to atlas) + 'didymus' (Greek 'didymos', meaning 'double' or 'twin').
This medical term for conjoined twins literally means 'double at the atlas'—ancient physicians coined terms by simply describing what they saw, creating vocabulary for the seemingly impossible.
