- 1肝的、肝臟的（醫學用語；日常說 liver / 肝）
Hepatic means of the liver — the large organ on the right side of your body that cleans the blood and helps you digest food. You meet this word in medical English: the hepatic artery, hepatic failure, hepatic cells. Doctors and textbooks like it because the old Greek adjective sits on charts. Ordinary people almost always say liver instead: liver disease, not hepatic disease, unless they are reading a hospital letter. Though actually, some illness names keep hepatic even in the news, so will see it. It is an adjective. It has nothing to do with seven (that is hept-, as in ), and nothing to do with the hip.
組成From Middle English epatik, from Late Latin hepaticus, from Ancient Greek ἡπατικός (hēpatikós, of the liver), from ἧπαρ (hêpar, liver).
