    SKETCH OF BONE ORIGINAL MEANING


    1. Scapula 1. Scapula - In Latin the plural form scapulae means the
    shoulder blades. In Greek, σπλθ means any broad, flat
    instrument, usually one made of wood like the blade of an
    oar. The name scapula was adopted by Vesalius. Riolan
    officially named it in 1640 translating from the Greek
    “λκλπτε υ” meaning to dig because the bone resembled a
    digging tool.
