Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin anfractus , -ure suffix¹.

Etymology: < classical Latin anfractus curved, bent (see anfractus n.) + -ure suffix¹. Compare earlier anfractus n.In use with reference to a kind of fissure (compare e.g. quot. 1857) perhaps sometimes associated with fracture n.
