Etymology
The word musculature comes from the word muscle, which comes from the Latin musculus meaning 'little mouse' because people once thought a moving muscle looked like a small mouse under the skin. The ending -ature gives the idea of a 'system' or 'arrangement', so musculature means the system of muscles in a body.
