τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From τρᾱχεῖᾰ (trākheîă, “rough”) +‎ ᾰ̓ρτηρῐ́ᾱ (ărtērĭ́ā, “windpipe, artery”).

Since windpipe (trachea) is the original meaning of ᾰ̓ρτηρῐ́ᾱ (ărtērĭ́ā),[1] it can be assumed that the term τραχεῖα ἀρτηρία developed later as a result of semantic specialization.
