Platyhieric is a term that refers to a low hairline on the forehead. The word is composed of two roots: platy, from the Greek πλατύς (platýs) meaning "broad, flat," and hieric, from the Greek ἱέραξ (hieráx) meaning "hawk." The spelling of platyhieric is pronounced /plætəˈhaɪərɪk/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable "platy" is pronounced with a short "a" sound, while the second syllable "hieric" is pronounced with a long "i" sound.
