In anatomy and botany, a border, edge, or fringe-like structure, particularly at the margins of an organ.
From Greek 'kraspedon' (border, hem, or edge of a garment). It's a technical anatomical term that preserved the Greek root directly.
This Greek word for the hem of a garment became a medical term for the borders of organs—doctors literally borrowed fashion terminology to describe where body parts end.
