Celidographer

/ˌseɪldɪˈɒɡrəfər/ noun

Definition

A person who practices or specializes in celidography; one who describes or studies belly/abdominal matters in detail.

Etymology

From Greek 'koilia' (belly) + 'graphos' (writer/describer) + '-er' suffix. This extremely rare technical term would appear in specialized anatomical or medical literature from the 18th-19th centuries.

Kelly Says

This word shows how scientists could theoretically create a specialist for anything by combining Greek roots—though celidographer never caught on because 'gastroenterologist' was more efficient.
