  1. the second compartment of the stomach of a ruminant

Word origin

Named by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1763. From later Latin rēticulum (“reticle”). The meaning is often wrongly interpreted as "net", which is an older meaning of the Latin root word. Doublet of reticle, reticule, and reticulum.

Used in a sentence

  • As the young ruminant consumes forages, the reticulum, and particularly the rumen, develop rapidly.
