Cicero (pronounced: si-ke-ro) is a term that originates from the Latin language. It is most commonly associated with Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, and writer who lived from 106 BC to 43 BC. However, in the context of medical terminology, Cicero does not have a specific meaning or application.
Etymology
The name Cicero is derived from the Latin word cicer, which translates to "chickpea". It is believed that an ancestor of Cicero had a wart or other distinguishing facial feature that resembled a chickpea, hence the name.
