Etymology

Borrowed from French carotide or New Latin carōtides, from Ancient Greek κᾰρωτῐ́δες (karōtídes, “carotid arteries”), from κᾰρόω (karóō, “to plunge into deep sleep or torpor”) +‎ -τῐ́δες (-tídes, plural nominal suffix), from the fact that the carotid artery supplies blood to the brain, and interruption of this flow causes loss of consciousness.
