Etymology:
Meaning and Origin:
The Greek word "khondrós" originally meant "a grain of sand, grit, small stone." It was later used to describe anything that was granular or rough-surfaced, including sand, gravel, and cartilage.
The term "chondro" is used in English to refer to cartilage, a type of connective tissue that is present in many parts of the body, such as the joints, ears, and nose. The word has been used in this sense since the 19th century.
In addition to its use in anatomy, "chondro" is also used as a prefix in other biological terms, such as "chondroblast" (a cell that produces cartilage) and "chondrosarcoma" (a type of cancer that occurs in cartilage).
