What does COXAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicalzoology
Relating to the hip, or to the coxa, the basal segment that joins an insect's or other arthropod's leg to its body.
Coxal is a technical adjective used in both human anatomy and entomology. In medicine it describes anything to do with the hip joint, as in a coxal fracture or coxal pain. In the study of insects and other arthropods it instead refers to the coxa, the first and thickest segment of a leg, which attaches the limb to the body. The same root, coxa, meaning hip in Latin, links both technical uses even though the creatures involved are very different.
