different between sacrum vs scrum
sacrum
English
Etymology
From Latin os sacrum (“holy bone”), a calque of Ancient Greek ????? ?????? (hieròn ostéon). Apparently so called either because the sacrum was the part of the animal offered in sacrifice or because of a putative belief that it is where a person's soul resides. A third explanation is that the term is a mistranslation of Ancient Greek ????? (hieròn), which has two meanings: “holy, sacred”, and “big” — big being a more appropriate description of the sacrum — but compare.
Noun
sacrum (plural sacra or sacrums)
- (anatomy) A large triangular bone at the base of the spine, located between the two ilia (wings of the pelvis) and formed from vertebrae that fuse in adulthood.
