Definitions:
-
(1)
(anatomy) the structure of a person's or animal's body, and the branch of science that studies that structure; or by extension, any detailed analysisSomeone who “studies anatomy” is learning how the parts of the body are put together and how they relate to each other. We also sometimes use anatomy to mean the structure itself, as in "that part of the anatomy."
More figuratively, people may talk about "the anatomy of a disaster" or "the anatomy of a revolution," meaning a careful, detailed analysis of how it was put together. - (2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
