prettygoodwordpalpebral (PAL-puh-bruhl, pal-PEE-bruhl, pal-PEB-ruhl) - adj., of, pertaining to, or located on or near the eyelids.
Anatomic jargon. Adopted around 1840 from medical Latin palpebrālis, from Latin palpebra, eyelid, akin to palpāre, to stroke, from whence palpate.
And that closes the lid on this week of P words. Posting the next two weeks is likely to be light due to holiday obligations, but I'll see when I can sneak on and get something up.
