Relating to or situated above the coracoid bone, a bone in the shoulder area of vertebrates.
From Greek 'epi' (upon/above) + 'precoracoid' (the bone before the coracoid). Used in comparative anatomy to describe skeletal structures in various animal groups.
This obscure anatomical term shows how scientists layer prefixes to precisely map where bones are—'epi' means 'above,' so you immediately know it's the bone sitting on top!
