Muscular means pertaining to muscle.
Muscular
Muscular (Muscul = ref to muscle + ar = pertaining to) is an adjective, so it has to have something to modify, such as muscular body, intramuscular injection, muscular contraction, etc.

Did you know that the Latin "musculus" which we generally interpret as "muscle" literally means "little mouse"? The same reference is found in the Greek "mys" which means both "mouse" and "muscle". Apparently some of the muscles, in contraction, looked like a mouse body or reacted like a mouse would.
