DERM, DERMATO relate to which body part?

Explanation:
DERM and DERMATO come from a Greek root meaning skin. They appear in many skin-related terms—dermatis, dermatologist, dermatology, dermis, and dermal—so they point to the skin as the body part involved. Other body parts use different roots (for example, hair-related terms use pil- or trich-, nails use onych-, muscles use myo-), which is why these roots aren’t about hair, nails, or muscles.
