Etymology

The word 'articular' traces its origins back to the Latin term 'articularis', which means 'of the joint'. This Latin word itself is derived from 'articulus', meaning 'joint', which is a diminutive form of 'ars', meaning 'to join'. The transition to the English language involved the combination of these roots to convey the notion of anatomical or physiological contexts where bones connect. The term has been used in English since the late 16th century, primarily in medical terminology and anatomy, to describe aspects related to joints. Over time, the word has maintained its relevance in various scientific discussions surrounding joint function, disease, and treatment methodologies.
