A combining form meaning 'of or relating to the cheek or mouth' used in medical and anatomical terminology.
From Latin bucca, meaning cheek or mouth, used as a prefix in scientific terms to indicate structures or conditions involving the oral and facial region.
Medical terms starting with 'bucco-' are everywhere in dentistry and ENT (ear, nose, throat) medicine—your dentist probably uses at least three 'bucco-' words during every checkup!
