单词 | abarticulation |
释义 | † abarticulationn. Anatomy. Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries. = diarthrosis n. ΚΠ 1721 N. Bailey Universal Etymol. Eng. Dict. Abarticulation, a good Construction of the Bones, whereby they are apt to move easily and strongly; such as is in the Arms, Hands, Thighs, Feet, &c. 1728 E. Chambers Cycl. Abarticulation, in Anatomy, is represented by Blanchard, and other Lexicographers after him, as synonymous with Diarthrosis: but the Definition they give of it, does not quadrate with that Notion. ‘Abarticulation, or Dearticulation, say they, is a good Constitution of the Bones, whereby they become dispos'd to move strongly and readily.’ But what this should mean, it were hard precisely to say.
