Origem do nome

From the Greek word ζῶσμα, "girdle" or "loin cloth". In Renaissance times this word was erroneously said to have been used to describe δ Leo in a medieval Greek text. Correctly, the text has ὀσφῦς, "hip" or "lower back" (after Ptolemy). The name "Zosma" (transliterated from the erroneous Greek word) was applied in recent times.
