In today’s globalized medical environment, mastering standardized anatomical terminology is not merely an academic requirement but a critical skill for clear and precise communication. Latin, as the foundational language of Western medicine, has helped create a universally recognized system of anatomical names. Even though modern medical practice relies on various vernacular languages, Latin-based terms ensure that healthcare professionals worldwide can describe anatomical structures consistently [1]. This standardization is particularly crucial in clinical and research contexts, where misunderstandings in terminology can lead to diagnostic errors, treatment delays, or flawed interpretations of data [2].

Moreover, studying Latin enhances students’ ability to decode complex scientific terms in other medical fields, such as pharmacology, pathology, and surgery. By understanding the roots, prefixes, and suffixes derived from Latin (and Greek), future physicians and researchers can more readily grasp new or evolving terminology. In an era of rapid medical advances, the ability to adapt to innovative concepts is essential [3]. Latin thus serves as both a historical touchstone and a modern tool, providing medical professionals with a linguistic foundation for lifelong learning and effective international collaboration [4].
