vesica
A vesica, short for vesica piscis, is a geometric shape that is the intersection of two same-sized circles. Each circle passes through the center of the other in effect producing a shape of an almond or fish bladder, hence the term "vesica piscis" - a Latin term that means "bladder of a fish". It is commonly used in the field of mathematics or art, and also a symbol with spiritual or religious significance in various cultures. In medical terminology, vesica often refers to the urinary bladder.
