<<
Why were you looking at the abdomen of several pregnant women to look
for retinal haemorrhages? Is there some new high fandango scan that me
hasn't heard about? >>
we are getting a latin lesson aren't we. The plural of fundus is fundi not
funduses.
Fundus comes from the same root as fundament, as in bottom, also applied to
the back of things.
Thus the back of the eye is the fundus.
