A condition or anatomical structure involving both connective tissue (desmo-) and muscle (myaria) together.
From Greek 'desmos' (ligament) + 'myos' (muscle) + '-aria' (suffix indicating a condition). This compound reflects the integrated nature of muscular and connective tissue systems.
This word shows that muscles don't work alone—the fascia (connective tissue wrapping) is so important that sometimes doctors need one word to describe the muscle-and-sheath system working together.
