  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Ileum  \Il"e*um\,  n.  [L.  ile,  ileum,  ilium,  pl  ilia,  groin, 
  flank.] 
  1.  (Anat.)  The  last  and  usually  the  longest,  division  of  the 
  small  intestine;  the  part  between  the  jejunum  and  large 
  intestine.  [Written  also  {ileon},  and  {ilium}.] 
 
  2.  (Anat.)  See  {Ilium}.  [R.] 
 
  Note:  Most  modern  writers  restrict  ileum  to  the  division  of 
  the  intestine  and  ilium  to  the  pelvic  bone.
