>>9405752

Before you hasten to condemn me for manifest idiocy, I urge you to consider the etymology of the word "anatomy" as it was used in the 17th century to denote a specific form of literary topos. John Donne, for example, in his poem, the Anatomy of the World, uses the word "anatomy" in the same sense as vivisection, dissection, or autopsy. This etymological lineage is made absolutely clear by the full title of Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy which is: "The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically, Opened and Cut Up."

>>9406102
That still sounds exactly like what we would understand under "anatomy" today
