Cerviz is a noun.
/cɛrˈβiz/
The term cerviz refers specifically to the back part of the neck, or nape, which connects the head to the rest of the body. It is often used in both oral and written contexts when discussing anatomy, health, or contextually specific scenarios such as discomfort or conditions affecting that area. The term can be found in medical discussions, literature, and everyday conversations, although it might be used less frequently than the general term "cuello" which means "neck".
La cerviz es una zona sensible del cuerpo.
The nape is a sensitive area of the body.
Me duele la cerviz después de estar mucho tiempo frente a la computadora.
My nape hurts after being in front of the computer for a long time.
Although cerviz is not commonly used in idiomatic expressions, it can be associated with a few phrases that depict discomfort or conditions related to the neck area.

I can't move my neck without feeling pain.

The word cerviz comes from the Latin cervicis, which means "of the neck." This traditional term evolved in Old Spanish while retaining the anatomical reference to the neck region.
