The word "húmero" is a noun.
/huˈmeɾo/
The term "húmero" refers to the long bone in the upper arm or forelimb, extending from the shoulder to the elbow. In Spanish, it is used primarily in anatomical and medical contexts. It is moderately common, especially in academic, medical, or educational environments.
This term is more frequently found in written contexts, such as textbooks, medical literature, and anatomical studies, though it can also appear in oral discussions, particularly among professionals in the medical field.
The humerus is a key bone in the structure of the arm.

The term "húmero" does not have many widely recognized idiomatic expressions associated with it in the Spanish language, as it is a specific anatomical term.
The word "húmero" is derived from the Latin word "humerus," which also means "upper arm" or "shoulder." Its origins can be traced back to Ancient Greek "ὦμος" (ōmos), meaning shoulder.
As a specific anatomical term, "húmero" does not have direct antonyms. However, one might consider the opposite bone in the forearm, the "radio" (radius), as a contrasting term in the context of the structure of the arm.
