Definitions

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

  1. n. A bone in the human body which the Rabbinical writers affirmed to be indestructible, and which is variously said to have been one of the lumbar vertebræ, the sacrum, the coccyx, a sesamoid bone of the great toe, or one of the triquetrous or Wormian bones of the cranium. It is probable that this superstition is the origin of the technical name of the sacrum or “sacred” bone.

Wiktionary

GNU Webster's 1913
