The medical and anatomical term for the skin, especially the true skin (dermis and epidermis) as opposed to other layers underneath.
Direct from Latin cutis, meaning 'skin.' This word has been used in anatomical terminology since ancient Roman times and remains the standard scientific term in English medical literature.
When doctors write 'cutis' on your medical chart, they're using literally the same word that Celsus (a Roman physician) used 2,000 years ago—medical Latin creates a time bridge through history!
