BODY PARTS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU HAD

 

RISORIUS

The laughing muscle. These little muscles connect to the edges of the mouth to enable us to smile. The Word appeared in English in 1829 from risor the Latin word for laughter. In French "to laugh" is rire. Curiously, according to the fattest dictionaries there is only a single word in English beginning with rir, and that is riroriro, from a Maori name for a New Zealand gray warbler.
