Bisiliac

/baɪˈsɪliæk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or affecting both iliac regions (the areas on either side of the lower abdomen near the hip bones).

Etymology

From 'bi-' (two) plus 'iliac' (relating to the ilium, the large pelvic bone), using standard medical terminology combining Latin roots.

Kelly Says

Medical terminology uses 'bi-' prefixes constantly to indicate bilateral involvement—'bilateral,' 'bimanual,' 'bisiliac'—which helps doctors quickly communicate that something affects both sides of the body.
