diaphragmn.

Brit.

/ˈdʌɪəfram/, U.S.

/ˈdaɪəˌfræm/

Forms: Also 1600s– agme.

Etymology: < Latin diaphragma, < Greek διάϕραγμα, the midriff, primarily ‘partition-wall, barrier’, < δια- through, apart + ϕράγμα fence, < ϕράσσειν to fence in, hedge round. Long used in Latin form. Compare French diaphragme, in 13–14th cent. diaffragme (Hatzfeld & Darmesteter).

I. A part of the body.

1. Anatomy. The septum or partition, partly muscular, partly tendinous, which in mammals divides the thoracic from the abdominal cavity; the midriff.Its action is important in respiration, and it is also concerned in laughter, sneezing, and hiccough; hence to move the diaphragm, to excite laughter.

II. Transferred uses.

a. generally. Applied to anything natural or artificial which in its nature or function resembles the diaphragm of the animal body, or similarly serves as a partition.
