Relating to or connecting the heel bone and the boat-shaped bone in the foot.
From Latin calcaneus (heel bone) + navicularis (boat-shaped), combining anatomical terms to describe the relationship between these two tarsal bones.
This word perfectly demonstrates how medical terminology stacks Latin roots like building blocks—calcaneo- (heel) + navicular (shaped like a little boat, which is what 'navis' means) describe exactly what a doctor sees when looking at foot anatomy.
