Relating to the leg or shin bone; similar to cnemial but used in certain anatomical or zoological contexts.
From Greek kneme (leg or shin) + -ic (forming adjectives). This is an alternative adjectival form derived from the same Greek root as cnemial.
Cnemic is the Greek way of saying 'leg-related,' but this word is so specialized that most English speakers have never encountered it—it survives mainly in zoological papers describing animal leg anatomy.
