derma

Owner Hiroyuki Asanuma is a dermatologist in Hokkaido who uses the word derma as the first part of all his horses’ names.

Onion rolls slathered with butter, herring in thick cream sauce, brisket of beef with a side of stuffed derma, and other staples of our family cuisine disappeared from our table.

The word taxidermy derives from the Greek words “taxis,” meaning arrangement, and “derma,” meaning skin.

So you wind up scrubbing that sort of derma blah blah more than you normally would.

The connective-tissue elements in the derma are also swollen, and exhibit reversion to the embryonal state.
