Origin:
The word "coxa" comes from the Latin term for the hip joint. The Proto-Indo-European root *kʷeks- is believed to be related to the concepts of "bend" or "angle," suggesting that the hip joint was recognized as a point of flexion.
In Greek, the related term "κώξυξ" (kōkuks) originally referred to the hip joint, but over time came to be used specifically for the tailbone, which is considered the vestige of the ancestral tail.
