Conduplicato corpore
Conduplicato Corpore
Conduplicato corpore (pronunciation: /kɒndjuːplɪˈkeɪtoʊ kɔːrˈpoʊreɪ/) is a Latin term used in medical terminology to describe a specific position of the fetus in the womb during pregnancy. The term is derived from the Latin words 'conduplicato', meaning 'doubled', and 'corpore', meaning 'body'.
Etymology
The term 'conduplicato corpore' is derived from Latin. 'Conduplicato' is the ablative singular form of the Latin verb 'conduplicare', which means 'to double' or 'to fold'. 'Corpore' is the ablative singular form of 'corpus', which means 'body'. Thus, 'conduplicato corpore' can be translated as 'with the body doubled' or 'with the body folded'.
Usage
In medical terminology, 'conduplicato corpore' is used to describe a position of the fetus in the womb where the body is doubled or folded. This position is often seen during the later stages of pregnancy, when the fetus has grown large enough to fill the uterus and has limited space to move.
