An alternative or archaic form of decussation; the act of crossing or intersecting in an X shape.
From Latin decussio, a variant form of decussatio. This appears to be an older or less common English rendering of the decussation concept.
Medieval anatomists used decussion to describe X-shaped patterns in the body, but the term largely fell out of use in favor of the more systematic 'decussation'!
