uterus

uterus: [17] Latin uterus ‘belly, womb’ goes back ultimately to an Indo-European *udero- or *wedero-, which also produced Sanskrit udáram ‘belly’, Latvian vēders ‘belly’, and possibly Greek hustérā ‘womb’ (source of English hysteria). It was first used in English by Helkiah Crooke in his Description of the Body of Man 1615.
