The ear, or relating to the ear; used in anatomical and medical terminology.
From Latin 'auris' (ear), one of the most direct borrowings from Latin used in modern medical and anatomical vocabulary to precisely describe the organ of hearing.
In medical terminology, 'auris' appears in dozens of specialized terms—'aurist' (ear doctor), 'auriscope' (to look in the ear), and 'aural' (relating to hearing)—making it one of the most useful Latin roots in healthcare!
