Definition of Jejunum
Jejunum definition - medical term
Part of the small intestine. It is half-way down the small intestine
between its duodenum and ileum sections.
The term "jejunum" derives from the Latin "jejunus," which means "empty of food,"
"meager," or "hungry." The ancient Greeks noticed at death that this part of the
intestine was always empty of food. Hence, the name the jejunum.
The Latin "jejunus" also gave rise to "jejune" means lacking in nutritive value
and devoid of substance, significance or interest, that is dull. A jejune argument
is one that is empty (like the jejunum) and totally devoid of interest.
