Coccygomorphic

/ˌkɒsɪɡoʊˈmɔrfɪk/ adjective

Definition

Having a shape, form, or structure that resembles a coccyx.

Etymology

From Greek 'kokkyx' (coccyx) plus 'morphe' (shape) plus the adjectival suffix '-ic'. This descriptive term was created to identify things that are coccyx-shaped.

Kelly Says

Combining '-morphic' with 'coccygo-' is how scientists describe shape—it's the same pattern as 'anthropomorphic' (human-shaped) or 'zoomorphic' (animal-shaped), so 'coccygomorphic' means 'shaped like a tailbone!'
