The middle or intermediate layer of skin or tissue, especially in embryonic development.
From Greek dia- (through, between) + derma (skin). A scientific term coined to describe skin layers that exist between other defined layers.
Scientists use this term to talk about the mysterious middle layers of developing skin in embryos—it's like discovering a hidden sandwich layer that nobody knew was important until they looked really closely!
