Centrutra

/senˈtruːtrə/ noun

Definition

Etymology

An alternative Latin plural form of 'centrum' using the '-a' ending, common in classical Latin but rarely used in modern English.

Kelly Says

This word is basically the 'vintage' version of 'centrums'—it's what Latin scholars would have said centuries ago, but modern anatomy uses the simpler 'centrums' instead.
