Excerpt from Anatomical Names: Especially the Basle Nomina Anatomica ("Bna") In the Romanic countries and in England, the terms were more or less adapted to the language of the country. Hile the Germans used adjectives with the endings -ides and idens, the English used terms with the endings-id and -idean, the French with the endings -ide and iden, the Italians -ide and -ide0. Direct translations into the Romanic language and into English. Were adopted as purely technical terms. About the middle of the eighteenth century anatomic teaching w begun in America, and with it came varied translations from foreign works. This gave rise to the use of a number of terms for the same structure. Again the same term was frequently used for different structures. This multiplication of terms was not at all peculiar to America; indeed it prevailed to an alarming degree in Germany, England and France. There thus piled up such a mass of technical terms that the science of anatomy staggered beneath its own terminology.
