Etymology
/mautyau/ → /mɔːt͡ɕɔː/ → /moːt͡ɕoː/
From Middle Chinese 盲腸 (MC maeng drjang, literally “blind gut”).
Usage notes
The appendix sense is common in everyday parlance, but is incorrect in medical contexts, where this term refers more specifically to the caecum. The medical term for the appendix is 虫垂 (chūsui).[2][1]
Derived terms
