Word origin

The term 'cervical' comes from the Latin word 'cervicalis', which means 'of the neck'. The Latin 'cervix' translates to 'neck' or 'narrow part', which is derived from the root 'cerv-', meaning neck. This etymological root reflects the anatomical relevance of the term 'cervical' in both human and animal anatomy, particularly in references to the spine and the reproductive system. The use of 'cervical' in medical contexts became more common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as anatomy and physiology began to be more systematized in medical education. Today, 'cervical' is widely used in various fields, including medicine, osteopathy, and holistic therapies, to describe anything pertaining to the neck region or the cervix.
