"Trochil" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Trochil is a Latin word meaning "little runner" or "small wheel".
The trochanters are two bony prominences on the femur (thigh bone) where the muscles of the legs and hip attach. They are located at the top and bottom of the femur. The greater trochanter (top) serves as the insertion point for several major muscles, including the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and piriformis muscles. The lesser trochanter (bottom) is the origin point for the iliofemoral ligament and the obturator externus muscle.
The word "trochilidist" refers to a person who collects or is fascinated with hummingbirds.
