What does UNGULA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A hoof, claw or nail-like structure, or a solid shape formed by cutting a cylinder or cone with a slanted plane.
In anatomy ungula names the hoof of an animal or a claw-like structure, overlapping closely with the related word unguis. Mathematicians borrowed the same Latin root for an unrelated purpose, naming a curved solid that a geometry student meets when calculating volumes with calculus, because early writers thought its rounded underside looked like a horse's foot. Both uses trace back to the same Latin word for hoof or nail, yet they belong to entirely different fields of study.
