Etymology

Latin plural of 'crumena,' borrowed directly into English scientific terminology. Used in anatomical and zoological contexts.

Kelly Says

In scientific Latin plurals like 'crumena,' you see how science borrowed Latin's grammar—it sounds more authoritative, but ironically, English speakers today often pronounce it wrong because we're unused to Latin rules.
