英语词汇“necropsy”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

A necropsy is a surgical examination of a dead body by a doctor called a pathologist, often to learn why the person died.

A more common word for necropsy is autopsy. Either way, it's the dissection of a corpse performed to learn something about the cause of death or about a particular disease. Sometimes necropsy is used when the body being examined is not human — in the case of a laboratory animal, for example. Whenever you see the prefix necro, you can be sure the word has something to do with death. In this case, it's combined with opsis, "a sight" in Greek.
