Entoglossal

/ˌɛntoʊˈɡlɑːsəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or situated within the tongue.

Etymology

From 'ento-' (within) + Greek 'glōssa' (tongue). The term combines the inner-location prefix with the anatomical name for the tongue.

Kelly Says

Your tongue has complex structures inside it, and 'entoglossal' describes anything hidden within your tongue muscle—like taste bud nerve fibers!
