Usage

What does digiti- mean? The combining form digiti- is used like a prefix meaning “finger.” It is very occasionally used in scientific terms, especially in botany. The form digiti- comes from Latin digitus, meaning “finger” or "toe." English digit, meaning "finger or toe," comes from this same Latin root. The Greek translation of digitus is dáktulos, which is the source of combining forms such as -dactyl, -dactylous, and -dactyly.
