The plural form of 'talus,' referring to the bone in your ankle that connects your leg to your foot.
From Latin 'talus' originally meaning heel bone, possibly related to Sanskrit 'talati' meaning to move or swing, reflecting the ankle's rotating motion.
Your talus (anklebone) is one of the most important bones in your body for movement, yet most people don't even know its name—it's basically the hinge between you and the ground!
