Celidography

/ˌseɪldɪˈɒɡrəfi/ noun

Definition

The detailed description, study, or illustration of the abdominal cavity and its organs; a treatise on belly anatomy.

Etymology

From Greek 'koilia' (belly) + 'graphia' (description/writing). This highly specialized term would have appeared in anatomical texts during the 18th-19th centuries when detailed organ description was a major scientific pursuit.

Kelly Says

Celidography represents the earlier phase of medicine when scientists literally described what they saw in meticulous detail—before microscopes and chemistry gave them deeper understanding.
