Definition
In anatomy, toward the end of a limb or structure away from the center of the body; the opposite of proximally.
Etymology
From 'distal' (from Latin 'distans', distant) + '-ly' adverbial suffix. Medical terminology adopted from Latin to precisely describe anatomical directions.
Kelly Says
Doctors use 'distally' to describe movement away from your heart—so your fingers are 'distally' located compared to your shoulder, which helps explain everything from surgery to X-rays.
