Relating to or denoting a bone or joint combining cube-shaped and wedge-shaped characteristics, particularly in anatomical structures.
From 'cubo-' (cube, from Latin cubicus) + 'cuneiform' (Latin cuneus 'wedge' + forma 'form'). This is medical/anatomical terminology combining two shape descriptors.
