Question

appendage n.附加物；附属品；附属器官 (1) 这个修改案是那个合同的附件。(2) 象的鼻子是一种独特的附肢。 Appendage often describes body parts, either on humans or animals. If it’s something that sticks out — like a finger, tail, or leg — chances are it can be called an appendage. The word can also be used figuratively to refer to something that’s associated with something larger or more important, like a husband who’s a mere appendage to his famous wife. In this sense, the word takes on a negative connotation: the appendage is not important.
