Morphology

frontoparietal = frontal + parietal (transparent) = fronto + parietal

An anatomical compound combining frontal and parietal; the noun denotes the region including both lobes and is directly derived.

Etymology

The frontoparietal as a region is named from frontal ('front') and parietal ('wall'), giving the image of the front and the side wall of the head. So the frontoparietal is the area of the brain that includes parts of both the frontal and parietal lobes.
