<< review queue entry 87359 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Less than 2,000 G results. The definition appears ultimately to derive from the English technical term “cryptozygous” (as a calque) rather than from independently attested Chinese usage. ZDIC glosses it as “有着宽阔的头颅和狭窄面部的头骨, 从上面观察时看不见颧弓”, which closely matches Merriam-Webster’s definition of cryptozygous: “having a wide skull and a narrow face so that the zygomatic arches are concealed when the skull is viewed from above”. https://zdic.net/hans/%E9%9A%90%E9%A2%A7 https://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/cryptozygous I think even the English term is quite rare, let alone the Chinese one.
