scapular
Of the shoulder
Scapular has two main uses.
In anatomy, it relates to the shoulder blade: scapular muscles, scapular region.
In Catholic practice, a scapular is a devotional garment—two small cloth squares connected by strings, worn over the shoulders under clothing as a sign of religious commitment or protection.
