Cremaster

 
Wikipedia: Cremaster

Cremaster is a term derived from the Greek verb κρεμάννυμι = "I hang (transitive)", not from Latin cremare = "to burn". It may refer to:

  • The cremaster muscle, part of genital anatomy in humans
  • A hook-shaped protuberance from the rear of the chrysalis casing in a certain species of butterfly, by which the caterpillar fixes itself to the pad of silk it has cemented to the underside of a perch
  • The Cremaster Cycle, a sequence of five films by Matthew Barney, entitled Cremaster 1 to Cremaster 5
