the.com/fundus
the part of you a doctor names while staring deep into eyeball, stomach, or womb.
means The fundus is the rounded base or far interior wall of a hollow organ — the back of the eye, the upper dome of the stomach, the top of the uterus — the part opposite or farthest from its opening.
from Straight from Latin fundus, meaning "bottom" or "base" — the same word that gave us "fund" (a bottom store of money), "foundation," and "profound" (deeply to the bottom). To Roman ears it was utterly ordinary, the floor of a thing; anatomists simply borrowed it to name the deep floor of an organ, the spot you reach when you've gone as far in as you can go.
