What is the eponychium? It has a couple different meanings, but either way you look at it, it has to do with either the foot or hand. The main use for the word Eponychium is to describe the cuticle, the area between your nail and finger, which seals off and protects your body from bacteria.

There is another meaning, which has to do with animals, when describing the hoof of an animal still in the fetal stages. This use of the word eponychium is not used as much and not accepted everywhere.

I hope that helps clarify what eponychium means, because I am still not sure myself.
