Definition
Latin anatomical term for the elbow joint or the entire forearm region.
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *keub- meaning 'to bend.' Preserved in Latin and inherited by all Romance languages and English medical terminology, unchanged for 2,000 years.
Kelly Says
The word 'cubitus' is so ancient that Romans used it identically to how doctors use it today—one of the few perfect linguistic time-capsules showing anatomy was understood correctly centuries ago.
