Dicrosema

Dicrosema is an obsolete or rare term referring to a bifurcated or cleft foot or toe. It is derived from the Greek words "dicha" (δίχα) meaning "in two" or "asunder" and "sema" (σήμα) meaning "sign" or "mark." As such, it literally signifies a "divided mark" and refers to the division of a digit. The term is primarily found in older anatomical or medical texts and is not in common use today. It might be encountered in historical discussions of foot deformities or congenital abnormalities involving the splitting of a foot or toe.
