Coronamen

/ˌkɒrənˈɑːmen/ noun

Definition

In anatomy, a anatomically descriptive term related to crown-like or corona structures; a coronary vessel or structure.

Etymology

From Latin corona (crown) + -men, a Latin nominative neuter suffix. This is a highly technical anatomical term rarely used in modern medicine.

Kelly Says

Ancient anatomists invented Latin terms for everything, even structures most doctors today have never heard of—language can be beautifully elaborate even when simpler words would work!
