Definition
An anatomical landmark on the lower jaw where the body of the mandible meets the ascending ramus, forming an angle.
Etymology
From Greek gonia (angle). This anatomical term directly references the angular prominence at the corner of the lower jaw.
Kelly Says
Your gonion is the sharp angle at your jaw—boxers and martial artists know this landmark well because it's one of the jaw's most vulnerable points to impact.
