Etymology
Limbic comes from the Latin word limbus, which means 'edge' or 'border'. You can see the same idea in the English word limbo, which also suggests a border state. So limbic describes parts that sit on an 'edge' — for example the limbic system sits along the inner edge of the brain and helps control emotions and memory.
