an unfortunate mishap is the resemblance between latin thyroidea and english thyroid on the one side and ancient greek θυροειδής on the other side, as the latter does not mean "shield-like", but actually means "like a door", derived from θύρα, door. θυροειδής is however used in anatomic nomenclature in the expression θυροειδές τρῆμα (τρῆμα = hole, perforation, aperture), coined by the greek physician galen. ancient greek θύρα can be translated, besides the aforementioned "door", as "gate", "entrance" and "opening". the greek name θυροειδές τρῆμα for this opening between the os pubis and the os ischii, currently called "obturator foramen", clearly originates from its being an opening (θύρα), while bearing no resemblance to a shield (θυρεός). the latin translation "foramen thyreoideum" for θυροειδές τρῆμα by the 18th–19th-century german physician and anatomist samuel thomas von sömmerring is clearly mistaken. the current "foramen thyroideum" of the "terminologia anatomica" is not a latin translation of galen's θυροειδές τρῆμα, but an orthographic revision of what was previously known in the nomina anatomica as "foramen thyreoideum", an inconstantly present opening in the lamina of the thyroid cartilage.
