Etymology

/mautyau/ → /mɔːt͡ɕɔː/ → /moːt͡ɕoː/

From Middle Chinese 盲腸 (MC maeng drjang, literally “blind gut”).

Noun

盲(もう)腸(ちょう) • (mōchō) ^{←まうちやう (mautyau)?}

1. (medicine, anatomy) caecum
2. (informal, slang) appendix

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(ちゅうすい) (chūsui).

Synonyms

• 虫(ちゅう)垂(すい) (chūsui, “appendix”)

Derived terms

• 盲(もう)腸(ちょう)炎(えん) (mōchōen, “appendicitis”)
