Anatomy

Anatomy is primarily the bodily structure of an organism. The word is also used for the branch of biological science which studies the bodily structure of organisms, dissection or separation of which form its core enabling more accurate scientific understanding of the subject. This word is derived from the Latin word 'anatomia' formed by joining 'ana' (up) and 'tomia' (cutting) meaning thereby 'cutting up'.

The word is also used for non-biological objects for a study of the structure or internal functioning of something, such as the anatomy of governance or anatomy of the art of war.
