"medulla" meaning in Latin

See medulla in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /meˈdul.la/ [Classical-Latin], [mɛˈd̪ʊlːʲä] [Classical-Latin], /meˈdul.la/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [meˈd̪ulːä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain. Traditionally compared to Latin medius (“middle”), or Proto-Indo-European *mosgʰos (“brain, marrow”). De Vaan mentions neither of these theories, and instead prefers a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *smer-u-lo-, from *smérus (“grease, marrow”), with the irregular change from *-r- > -d- resulting from hypercorrection similar to that of *-d- > -r- in merīdiēs (“midday”).
