bronchia

== English == === Noun === bronchia plural of bronchium === Anagrams === branchio- == Latin == === Etymology === Borrowed from Ancient Greek βρόγχια (brónkhia), from βρόγχος (brónkhos, “trachea, throat”), cognate both with Ancient Greek βρόχω (brókhō, “I gulp down”) and Ancient Greek βρόχθος (brókhthos, “throat”). The various endings likely represent different forms of the root, rather than suffixes; according to Beekes the nasalisation could suggest a Pre-Greek origin, although IE derivations have been suggested. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈbrɔŋ.kʰi.a] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈbrɔŋ.ki.a] === Noun === bronchia n pl (genitive bronchiōrum); second declension (anatomy) The bronchial tubes ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter), plural only. ==== Related terms ==== bronchium bronchus === References === “bronchia”, in Charlton T.
