What is another word for axillary fossa?
Pronunciation: [ˈaksɪləɹi fˈɒsə] (IPA) 
The axillary fossa is a term commonly used to describe the underarm area of the human body. However, there are several other synonyms used to refer to this anatomical region, such as the axilla, armpit, and underarm. The term axilla originates from the Latin word for "armpit," while armpit is a combination of the Old English words "earm" (meaning "arm") and "pyt" (meaning "hole"). Underarm, on the other hand, simply describes the area underneath the arm. While each of these words may have slightly different connotations or uses in certain contexts, they all essentially refer to the same specific location of the body.
