Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   anatomy: an internal organ located in one of the body's major cavities

   The surgeon examined each abdominal viscus for signs of injury.

Borrowed directly from Latin viscus, 'an internal organ of the body.' Its inherited learned plural is viscera, and the same Latin stem produced visceral and eviscerate.
