lunule
Cuticle's pale arc
A lunule is a small crescent-shaped mark or structure.
The term most often refers to the pale arc at the base of a fingernail, where the nail emerges from the skin: The lunules on her thumbnails were especially prominent.
In biology, lunules appear as crescent markings on shells, wings, or other surfaces.
