Livers

/ˈlɪv.ərz/ noun

Definition

the large organs inside your body that clean your blood and help digest food, or people who live in a particular place

Etymology

From Old English 'lifer,' related to 'life' and 'live.' The organ was named because it was seen as essential to living, and 'livers' can also mean people who 'live' somewhere.

Kelly Says

Your liver is amazingly powerful—it can regenerate itself even if 75% is removed, which is why liver transplants can work with partial livers from living donors, making it one of nature's most resilient organs!
