abdominal
UK: æbˈdɒmɪnəl | US: æbˈdɑːmɪnəl
adj. relating to the abdomen (the part of the body containing the stomach, intestines, etc.)
The word "abdominal" derives from Latin abdomen (meaning "belly") combined with the suffix -al, which forms adjectives. The Latin abdomen likely originated from abdo ("to conceal"), reflecting the abdomen's role as a cavity housing internal organs. Over time, the term evolved in medical and anatomical contexts to specifically denote structures related to the belly region.
