Definition
A small bone or cartilaginous projection found in some animals, particularly in the ear region near the malleus.
Etymology
From Greek 'epi-' meaning 'upon' and 'tonion,' a diminutive related to 'tonos' (tension or tone). The term evolved in anatomical Latin to describe small projections on or near structures involved in sound transmission.
Kelly Says
This word is rarely used in modern medicine, but it's a perfect example of how anatomy textbooks from the 1800s were filled with tiny named structures that we've mostly forgotten about—many turned out to be inconsistent variations rather than consistent features.
