medulla
medulla (n.) hindmost segment of the brain, 1650s, from L. medulla, lit. "marrow," also "pith of plants," of unknown origin, perhaps related to or influenced by medius "middle" (but Cf. also O.Ir. smiur, Welsh mer "marrow"). The word was used in the Latin senses in Middle English. Related: Medular; medullary.
