Assuming the perspective of a multi-aspect overview, in this paper a linguistic-cultural-terminological analysis of thyroid cartilage (Latin cartilago thyroidea) has been made, with special consideration given to its fragment known as laryngeal prominence, throat, apple of man or, most commonly, Adam’s apple. In the linguistic-anthropological part of the study, lexicographic and cultural contexts are considered, in which the word combination from the title is fixed. In turn, the medical description of Adam’s apple includes anatomical and physiological aspects, as well as relevant terminology.
The author shows relations between triple anthropological model and triple scheme of biblical morality. He interprets in this area, description of a fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Significant reference is biblical study about triform concupiscence, which has legible impress in the evangelical counsels.
