/ˌmɛzoʊˈmitriəm/; see also meso- comb. form.

Inflections: Plural mesometria.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: meso- comb. form, Greek μήτρα, Latin -ium.

Etymology: < meso- comb. form + ancient Greek μήτρα womb (see metro- comb. form³) + classical Latin -ium (see -y suffix⁴); compare -metrium comb. form. N.E.D. (1906, s.v. Meso-) gives the pronunciation of the second element as (-me·triɒ̆m) /-ˈmɛtrɪəm/.

Anatomy and Zoology.

A fold of peritoneum connecting the lateral wall of the uterus or (in birds) the oviduct with the pelvic wall.In human anatomy usually called the broad ligament.
