中文词源
该词直接来自拉丁语，但其进一步的词源并不清楚，有人猜测它可能来自于表示“隐藏”的拉丁语单词 abdere，用于表示“隐藏内脏的地方”，但是这种猜测并没有什么事实根据，所以该词的词源对我们并没有什么帮助。
英文词源
- abdomen (n.)
- 1540s, "belly fat," from Latin abdomen "belly," which is of unknown origin, perhaps from abdere "conceal," with a sense of "concealment of the viscera," or else "what is concealed" by proper dress. De Vaan, however, finds this derivation "unfounded." Purely anatomical sense is from 1610s. Zoological sense of "posterior division of the bodies of arthropods" first recorded 1788.
