Word origin

Borrowed from Latin sinciput (“half a head”; “smoked hog’s cheek or half-jowl”; (transferred senses): “brain”, “head”), whence also the French sinciput.

Used in a sentence

  • The cranial anomalies occurred either in the occiput or the sinciput, approximately twice as often in the occiput as in the sinciput. Such lesions have been considered to be inoperable when they involved the sinciput.
  • Between these two extremes lie the sinciput presentation and the brow presentation. Thus there are four distinct attitudes: vertex, sinciput, brow, and face (Figure 15-7).
