Plural of funiculus in medical Latin; multiple rope-like anatomical structures, especially in medical or anatomical terminology.
Latin plural of funiculus (small rope). This is the proper Latin pluralization, used primarily in medical and anatomical nomenclature, though 'funiculi' is less common in English than the Anglicized 'funicles.'
Medical terminology still preserves these Latin plurals as a shorthand among professionals—saying 'funiculи' instead of 'funicles' marks someone as trained in classical medical terminology, a linguistic badge of authority.
