Etymology
The word 'anatomicophysiological' is formed from the combination of 'anatomico-' (from 'anatomy') and 'physiological' (from 'physiology'), both of which have roots in Greek: 'anatomē' meaning 'dissection' and 'physis' meaning 'nature'.
'Anatomicophysiological' was coined in modern scientific English by combining the terms 'anatomical' and 'physiological' to describe concepts that involve both structure and function.
Initially, it referred specifically to matters involving both anatomy and physiology, and this meaning has remained consistent in scientific usage.
