An alternative spelling of cecum, the pouch-like structure at the junction of the small and large intestines.
From Latin caecum (blind thing), from caecus (blind). The variant spelling coecum reflects older English orthography.
Your cecum is basically a relic of your evolutionary past—it was crucial for your herbivorous ancestors to digest plant matter, but you barely use it now.
