Muscle

The origin of the word muscle is very curious. it comes from latin musculus, which means mouse. That's right. Musculus, in Latin, means small mouse or mouse. How did this come to mean the muscle of the body? It's just that observing the movement of muscles, especially in the arms and legs, the ancient Romans thought they looked like mice moving back and forth. And that's why they started calling these body parts 

musculus. And so it stayed. Until today.
