Editorial Reviews: Product Description These cartoons illustrate the etymology of medical terms, especially the names for parts of the human body such as muscle. The word muscle originally meant "little mouse". Supposedly, the ancients thought that contracting muscles looked like little mice running under the skin. What does the little bump on the ear called the "tragus", which means "goat", have to do with goats? See the cartoon below. (My audiologist loved this one).
