Eurycephalous

/ˌjuːrɪˈsɛfələs/ adjective

Definition

Having a broad or wide head; the same as eurycephalic.

Etymology

From Greek 'eury-' (broad) and 'cephalous' (headed), an alternative form of eurycephalic using the '-ous' suffix common in descriptive anatomical terms.

Kelly Says

Both eurycephalic and eurycephalous mean the same thing, but 'eurycephalous' sounds even more scientific—it's the kind of word that made 19th-century anthropologists feel very professional!
