Definition
An anatomical point on the tip of the middle finger, used as a measurement reference in anthropology and medicine.
Etymology
From Greek daktylos (finger), coined as a technical anatomical term in the 19th century to provide a standardized measurement point for human body studies.
Kelly Says
Medical researchers use dactylion as a fixed point to measure body proportions—it's one of dozens of invisible landmarks on your body that scientists use to spot growth abnormalities or genetic conditions.
