Etymology of SUPRACOMMISSURE
The word "supracommissure" is formed by combining the prefix "supra-" and the noun "commissure".
1. "Supra-" is a Latin prefix meaning "above" or "over". It is commonly used to indicate something that is superior, higher, or beyond.
2. "Commissure" comes from the Latin word "commissura", which means "a joining together" or "a juncture". In anatomy, a commissure refers to a bundle of nerve fibers that connects two structures, usually in the central nervous system.
Therefore, when combined, "supracommissure" refers to a structure or bundle of nerve fibers located above or superior to a commissure.
