forceps
의미: A hinged surgical instrument resembling tongs or pincers, used to grasp, hold, or extract tissue, objects, or — in obstetrics — to assist in the delivery of a baby.
Forceps is a plural noun that takes either a singular or plural verb ('the forceps was/were applied'). In general usage, the term is most commonly associated with childbirth — a 'forceps delivery' is one where the instrument is used to guide the baby through the birth canal. In surgery and laboratory work, forceps come in many specialised forms. The term surfaces in medical ethics debates about intervention in childbirth and in health journalism comparing delivery methods.
