The word "platypellic" is derived from the combination of two Greek roots: "platus", meaning flat, and "pelvis", referring to the basin-shaped bony structure in the lower part of the vertebrate trunk. The suffix "-ic" is added to indicate that it is an adjective form. "Platypellic" is typically used in medical terminology to describe a flat or shallow pelvis, which can have implications for childbirth or certain medical conditions.
