Relating to or connecting the coracoid process of the shoulder blade with the acromion process, two bony landmarks on the shoulder.
From coracoid (a shoulder bone process) + acromial (relating to the acromion, the highest point of the shoulder blade). Both parts come from Greek anatomical terminology established in medical science.
The coracoacromial arch is like a tunnel in your shoulder—the coracoacromial ligament stretches across it, and if it gets too tight, it can pinch the rotator cuff tendons and cause shoulder pain in people who throw or swim a lot!
