Etymology

The word 'tali' stems from the Latin word 'talus,' which means ankle or heel. The use of 'talus' in English dates back to the early 17th century when anatomical terms were being standardized across Europe. The plural form, 'tali,' is derived from Latin grammar rules where many nouns ending in '-us' have their plural ending in ‘-i.’ The study of human anatomy, particularly in the context of movement and sports medicine, has brought increased attention to the tali as crucial components of the skeletal system. Historically, understanding the structure and function of the tali has been vital in treating various forms of ankle injuries and conditions, reflecting the bone's importance in both everyday movement and athletic activities.
