Question

Why is the lump in the throat called the Adams Apple?

Answer 1

It is usually said that Adam's apple takes its name from the biblical story about Adam, Eve. the serpent and the apple. A piece of the forbidden fruit stuck in Adam's throat and created the anatomic Adam's apple. So the story goes. However, it may be wrong.



Adam's apple in Latin is "pomum Adami." This may have been a mistranslation of the Hebrew "tappuach ha adam" which also means male bump. Between Latin and English there's many a slip.

Answer 2

only men have it, men are ADAM (the first man) there was fanangle about adam eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden (perhaps the apple stuck in his throat?) hence adams apple
