Definition
the bone that forms the prominence of your cheek below the eye; one of the bones that shapes your face structure.
Etymology
A compound word combining 'cheek' (from Old English 'ceace,' meaning jaw or chin) and 'bone' (from Old English 'ban'). The term became common in the 16th century as anatomical terminology became more precise.
Kelly Says
High cheekbones became a beauty standard partly because they catch light differently and make faces appear more sculpted—photographers and artists literally exploit how light bounces off this exact bone!
