Origin of the word ear canal

The medical term for the narrow passageway connecting the eardrum to the outer ear is known as the ear canal or auditory canal. The phrase "ear canal" derives from the Greek word "chole," meaning bile, and the Latin word "canalis," which means passageway. This ancient reference is due to the resemblance of the original name, "chenuche," to the Greek word "khōlos," which means bile duct (the canal of the gallbladder) because of the winding and crooked shape of the human auditory canal. Over time, the term "ear canal" has become more widely recognized and accepted in medical terminology, replacing the earlier less descriptive term "external auditory meatus."
