Etymology

The word 'umbilical' originates from the Latin word 'umbilicus', which means 'navel' or 'belly button'. This Latin term has its roots in the Greek word 'omphalos', which similarly denotes the navel. Over time, the term was adopted into Middle English, where it began to take on more specific meanings related to anatomy and the medical field, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology. The use of 'umbilical' in modern English particularly emphasizes its connection to maternal pregnancy and fetal development, highlighting its significance in both literature and medical terminology. As medical knowledge has expanded, the term has gained a deeper understanding of the functions and importance of the umbilical cord in prenatal care.
