Origin:
The word "pectoral" has its roots in Latin. The Latin term "pectus" referred to the chest or breast. From this root word, the adjective "pectoralis" was coined, meaning "of or relating to the chest."
In ancient Rome, "pectoralis" was used to describe a type of amulet or ornament worn on the chest. These pectorals were often made of metal, stone, or bone and were believed to have protective or healing properties.
Over time, the term "pectoral" was extended to refer to anything related to the chest, including muscles, bones, and coverings. It is now commonly used in anatomy, medicine, and other fields to describe structures or objects associated with the chest or breast area.
