Gluteus (noun)

Either of two large muscles in the buttocks that move the hip and thigh.

Origin:

From new latin, from latin gluteus, from glutes 'buttocks, rump', from greek gloutós 'buttocks'. ultimately from the same indo-european root as low german glock 'bell', lithuanian glóbti 'to bump, bulge', and sanskrit ghabháti 'he seizes, he curves'.

Examples:

1. The gluteus muscles are important for movement and stability.
2. Exercise can help strengthen the gluteus muscles and improve posture.
3. The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body.
4. Injuries to the gluteus muscles can cause pain and difficulty moving.
5. Working the gluteus muscles can help prevent back pain and improve overall athletic performance.
