Coccygomorph

/kɒˈsɪdʒəmɔrf/ noun

Definition

An organism or structure that resembles a coccyx in form or shape.

Etymology

From Greek 'kokkyx' (coccyx) plus 'morphe' meaning shape or form. This term was created to describe things that physically resemble a coccyx's distinctive triangular shape.

Kelly Says

This is a rare scientific term that shows how anatomists see coccyx-shaped things everywhere—the coccyx's distinctive curved triangle shape apparently reminded them of other organisms or structures in nature!
