Bothriums

/bɒˈθriːəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bothrium; groove-like structures or sucking grooves found on the heads of certain tapeworms that help them attach to host intestines.

Etymology

From Greek 'bothros' meaning pit or hole, plus Latin plural '-ium.' The term was coined in parasitology to describe the anatomical features of tapeworms.

Kelly Says

Bothriums are like tiny vacuum cleaner slots—tapeworms use them to grip intestinal walls so firmly they can stay in place for years despite your body's attempts to flush them out. It's nature's grim engineering.
