TRUNK
The body of a tree stirps (the stock as the animating and supporting principal part of a tree; opposed to the branches and leaves as growing from it and dependent upon it; it sometimes includes the whole stem with the roots): truncus (the naked dry part of the tree; opposed to the branches and leaves and even to the top itself as its ornament; in short so far as it answers to the trunkof the human body as distinguished from stirps; truncus means the lower part of the stem; stirps the higher). ☞ In good prose stipes (in poetry synonymous with truncus or stirps) is only “pole;” caudex a “block” or “log;” i.e. piece of wood cut up or not too short to be recognized as a stem or trunk (Döderlein).
Of the human body truncus (corporis).
Proboscis rostrum: of an elephant proboscis -idis (Plin.); manus (Cic.).
Chest area: cista: capsa: armarium scrinium. pyxis. Little trunk arcula: capsula: cistula: cistellula. SYN. in BOX.
