使用する際の注意点

Carpus is a New Latin term. Classical Latin had no specific word for “wrist”, as it was considered part of the manus, which included not only the hand but also the wrist and the distal part of the forearm. Aulus Cornelius Celsus explains Ancient Greek καρπός (karpós) as prīma palmae pars (literally “first part of the hand”); other expressions that can be used if necessary to differentiate the wrist from the rest of the hand are prīmōris manus (literally “foremost hand”) and articulus manūs (literally “joint of the hand”).
