"(see below), and less commonly the German spelling (a Germanized spelling variation of the English word), are often used synonymously with ""cummerbund"" in English. Today, the word in Persian refers to anything which is or works like a belt, be it a clothing belt, a safety belt or a ring road around a city center (). The form of the cummerbund is a wide band around the waist, and its origin as part of black tie determined the acceptable colours.

The cummerbund is an attempt to avoid this problem, as the weight belt can not be snagged on it in the same way, but the weight belt must then be worn either under the cummerbund, obstructing access to the buckle, or below the cummerbund. The effectiveness of a cummerbund depends on a waistline which is smaller than the circumference of the upper torso, and it may constrain free breathing if fitted too tightly. This tendency of the inflated BC to shift towards the head is less of a"

The name derives from early Roman times when it was thought that the bone resembled a trowel or small shovel. In compound terms, the prefix omo- is used for the shoulder blade in Latin medical terminology. The prefix is"
