osculum
noun oscula
- One of the suckers on the head of a tapeworm.
- The main opening in a sponge from which water is expelled. I left them in that condition, and at 7 o'clock examined them again, when I found them still quiescent; but one of the two large groups of oscula and the new one were entirely closed, while the other osculum at the largest end of the sponge had opened to the extent of about one-third of its diameter
