pubicum

Pubicum is a Latin term meaning "of the pubis" and serves as the neuter form of the adjective pubicus. In modern English, the form pubicum is rarely used; the corresponding English adjective pubic is standard when describing structures related to the pubis. The word derives from the Latin noun pubis, referring to the pubic bone, with typical adjective endings such as -us (pubicus), -a (pubica), and -um (pubicum). In historical and some scholarly texts, pubicum can appear in Latin phrases to indicate relation to the pubic region; contemporary medical writing generally favors English terms.
