  1. join with a suture

Word origin

From Middle English suture, from Latin sūtūra (“suture”), from suere (“sew, join or tack together”) + -tūra (forms action nouns).

Used in a sentence

  • Although the sutures are difficult to trace, the supraoccipital contacts the parietal anteriorly at a tight interdigitated suture, and contacts the ophistotic posterolaterally at a straight suture.
  • It is also generally marked above by flexuose anastomosing black, indented lines, whence it appears as if insculpt with rivulose sutures.
