Relating to both the heel bone and the sole of the foot.
From Latin calcaneus (heel bone) + plantaris (relating to the sole of the foot), combining to describe structures involving both the heel and foot's undersurface.
This term reveals how the heel and sole are treated as interconnected regions in anatomy—you can't really have one without discussing the other, which makes sense since the heel is literally part of the foot's sole.
