Description
The ring finger , third finger , fourth finger , leech finger , or annulary is the fourth digit of the human hand, located between the middle finger and the little finger.
Sometimes the term ring finger only refers to the fourth digit of a left-hand , so named for its traditional association with wedding rings in many societies, although not all use this digit as the ring finger. Traditionally, a wedding ring was worn only by the bride or wife, but in recent times more men also wear a wedding ring. It is also the custom in some societies to wear an engagement ring on the ring finger.
In anatomy, the ring finger is called digitus medicinalis , the fourth digit , digitus annularis , digitus quartus , or digitus IV. In Latin, the word anulus means "ring", digitus means "digit", and quartus means "fourth".
