Located upon or near the periphery; situated at the outer edge of something.
From epi- (upon) + peripheral (relating to the outer edge or boundary), which comes from Greek periphereia (circumference). This anatomical term describes structures positioned just at or slightly beyond the margin of a region.
In anatomy, this word helps doctors pinpoint exactly where something is—not quite in the center, not quite outside, but hovering right at that fuzzy boundary between two zones!
