A small horn-like projection or structure; the singular Latin form referring to a cornicle.
From Latin corniculum, the diminutive of cornu meaning 'horn.' This is the original Latin term from which English derivative words like cornicle and cornicular are formed.
Corniculum is the technical Latin name—scientists still use Latin roots because it allows precise communication across all languages and guarantees accuracy!
