colonn.1

/ˈkəʊlən/
Etymology: < Latin colon, < Greek κόλον food, meat, the colon. The form κῶλον found in manuscripts is metrically incorrect (e.g. Aristoph. Eq. 455) and arose from confusion with κῶλον a limb or member (Liddell and Scott). Compare French colon.

It ascends by the right kidney (right lumbar or ascending colon), passes below the liver to the spleen ( transverse colon), and descends to the left kidney (left lumbar or descending colon), whence it extends (as the sigmoid flexure, or left iliac colon) to the commencement of the rectum. †Formerly, in popular use, the belly or guts; to feed or satisfy colon: to appease hunger.

A punctuation-mark consisting of two dots placed one above the other [:] usually indicating a discontinuity of grammatical construction greater than that marked by the semicolon, but less than that marked by the period. plural colons.Its best defined use is to separate clauses which are grammatically independent and discontinuous, but between which there is an apposition or similar relation of sense. Thus it may introduce an antithetic statement, an illustration, extract, etc. But ‘its use is not very exactly fixed; it was used before punctuation was refined, to mark almost any sense less than a period’ (Johnson). It is also employed to divide prose into metrical periods for chanting.
