Caurale

/kɔːˈreɪl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to a tail or tail-like structure; having the nature of a cauda or tail.

Etymology

From Latin 'caudalis', derived from 'cauda' (tail). The suffix '-ale' creates an adjective form describing something possessing tail-like qualities or relating to the tail region.

Kelly Says

Biologists still use the Latin root 'caudal' all the time—your caudal fin is your tail fin—showing how scientific naming directly inherited the ancient Romans' precise anatomical terminology.
