What does FIBULA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicaltechnical
The thinner of the two bones of the lower leg, running beside the shinbone.
Fibula is Latin for a brooch or pin, and the bone got the name because it and the shinbone together looked like a clasp and its pin. It carries little of the body's weight but anchors muscles and forms the outer bump of the ankle. In archaeology the same word names an ancient brooch used to fasten a cloak.
