Definitions and meaning of ilium

ilium

Alternative forms

• ilion (4th to 7th centuries)

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin īlium (“lower abdomen”), from īle (“flank”).

Pronunciation

• (UK) IPA^(key): /ˈɪlɪəm/
• Rhymes: -ɪliəm

Noun

ilium (plural ilia)

1. (anatomy) The upper and widest of the three bones that make up each side of the hipbone and pelvis.
2. (anatomy, obsolete) The ileum, part of the small intestine (in modern usage, misspelling of ileum.).

Usage notes

In modern usage, ilium always refers to the bones of the hip and pelvis while ileum always refers to the part of the small intestine. To remember the different spellings, one mnemonic is that there is an -i- in the middle of both ilium and hip; another is that ileus affects the ileum, and both have an -e-.

Or the two -i- in ilium look like bones and the -e- in ileum is squiggly like an intestine.
