metopionn.

Brit.

/mᵻˈtəʊpɪən/, U.S.

/məˈtoʊpiən/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French métopion.

Etymology: < French métopion (P. Broca 1875, in Bull. de la Soc. d'Anthropol. de Paris 10 364) < métop- (in métopique metopic adj.) + -ion -ion suffix². Compare ancient Greek μετώπιον forehead; this word is not noted by Broca, and his métopion appears to be formed independently (see -ion suffix²).

Physical Anthropology.

In craniometry: the midpoint of a line drawn to connect the frontal tuberosities. Cf. metopic adj.
