situs
Where something sits
Situs is the position or location of something, particularly in legal and medical contexts.
In law, situs determines which jurisdiction's laws apply to property or a transaction: The situs of the trust is Delaware.
In anatomy, situs refers to the normal arrangement of organs; situs inversus is a rare condition where organs are mirror-reversed from their typical positions.
