Definition
Relating to the ribs and the xiphoid process, the small pointed bone at the bottom of the breastbone.
Etymology
From Latin 'costa' (rib) and Greek 'xiphos' (sword) with suffix '-oid' (resembling). The xiphoid process was named for its sword-like shape, and this anatomical term emerged as medical terminology became more precise.
Kelly Says
The xiphoid process literally means 'sword-like thing,' and if you feel the bottom of your breastbone, you can actually find this little pointed structure. It's a bony landmark that helps doctors and surgeons navigate the chest cavity.
