Terminologia Anatomica

Each entry contains a sound file to help you with the pronunciation of the word (see the page on pronunciation above). The Anatomical Latin Dictionary on this website is formatted similar to a Latin dictionary. The following will help you to understand this format. 

Nouns

The first word in each Latin dictionary entry is the nominative singular form of the noun. 

                  vena, -ae, f. vein

     corpus, corporis, n. body

The second piece of information in a Latin dictionary entry is the genitive singular form of the noun. This is important information because the genitive singular reveals which declension the noun belongs to. For third declension nouns, the genitive singular also reveals the root of the noun, which is not evident in the nominative singular for many of these nouns. 

                  vena, -ae, f. vein

​     corpus, corporis, n. body

The third piece of information in a Latin dictionary entry is the gender of the noun (neuter = n., feminine = f. and masculine = m.). 

                  vena, -ae, f. vein

     corpus, corporis, n. body

The fourth piece of information in a Latin dictionary entry is the meaning of the Latin word.

                  vena, -ae, f. vein

     corpus, corporis, n. body 

    

Adjectives

The Latin dictionary entries for nouns and adjectives are distinguishable by their basic format. Latin dictionary entries for nouns provide the genitive singular form of the noun and the gender of the noun. Latin dictionary entries for adjectives simple provide the nominative singular forms of the adjective. 

 Noun: corpus, corporis, n. body Adjective:  corporalis, -e, corporal

First and Second Declension Type Adjectives: The dictionary entries for the first and second declension type adjectives show the nominative singular endings (masculine, feminine, and neuter) of the adjective in the following way:

  externus, -a, -um external  = 

 externus (masc., nom., sing.), externa (fem., nom., sing.) externum (neut., nom., sing.)

      sinister, -tra, -trum left =

 sinister (masc., nom., sing.), sinistra (fem., nom., sing.), sinistrum (neut., nom., singular)

Third Declension Type Adjectives: The dictionary entries for third declension adjectives are the nominative (masculine, feminine, and neuter) singular endings for these adjectives.

  medialis, -e,  medial (toward the middle) =

  medialis (masc., or fem., nom., sing.),mediale (neut., nom., sing.)

Comparative Adjectives: The dictionary entries for a comparative adjective is as follows:

 inferior, -us,  inferior, more below =

 inferior (masc. or fem., nom., sing.), inferius (neut., nom., sing.)

 major, -us,  greater

 major (masc. or fem., nom., sing.),majus (neut., nom., sing.)

Participles: Active participles are declined like third declension adjectives. However, unlike the previous third declension adjectives they have one inflectional ending for the masc., fem., and neut. in the singular nominative case.
