Etymology
'anatomicophysiologic' originates from combining 'anatomic' (from Greek 'anatomē' meaning 'dissection') and 'physiologic' (from Greek 'physis' meaning 'nature' and 'logos' meaning 'study').
'anatomicophysiologic' was formed in modern English by combining the terms 'anatomic' and 'physiologic' to describe concepts involving both structure and function in biology and medicine.
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to both anatomy and physiology,' and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
