“腰部或骨盆的肌肉，来自公元1680年的希腊语 psoa（复数 psoai）“腰部肌肉”。相关词汇： Psoitis; psoitatic。

Gk. [psoas], the gen. of the feminine noun [psoa], was mistaken by the French anatomist Jean Riolan (1577-1657) for the nom. of a (nonexistent) masculine noun. It was he who introduced this erroneous form into anatomy. [Klein]

希腊语 [ psoas ]，是女性名词 [ psoa ] 的属格，被法国解剖学家让·里奥兰（Jean Riolan，1577-1657）误认为是一个（不存在的）阳性名词的主格。正是他将这个错误的形式引入了解剖学。[Klein]
