Gnathions

/ˈɡnæθi.ɑnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gnathion; multiple anatomical reference points on the lower jaw.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'gnathion,' adding the standard English plural suffix -s to the Greek-derived singular form.

Kelly Says

Even though there's technically one gnathion per person, the plural exists because orthodontists and anatomists compare gnathions across different patients and studies constantly.
