Latin is fascinating. There are literally dozens of terms for the female reproductive organs.
That’s a result of medieval hymn writers. They would write conception/gestation/birth related hymns to the Blessed Virgin. They used an a strict rhyme scheme.
So lots of of medieval monks had to ask “What’s a term for uterus that rhymes with tempora? Ok how about viscera [intestines]? Viscera it is.” And the hymn becomes popular so now viscera means uterus or breast or something.
