Definition
Relating to or belonging to the skull or cranium; another term for cranial.
Etymology
From Latin 'cranium' (skull, from Greek 'kranion') plus the adjectival suffix '-an'. An alternative to 'cranial' in medical or anatomical contexts.
Kelly Says
English medical terminology often has multiple words for the same thing from different language layers—'cranian' sounds more obviously Latin than 'cranial', showing how words from different historical periods can mean nearly the same thing!
