You would think a word like "Acnestis" would refer to the blemishes found on teenage faces, but it actually refers to what part of the body common to many mammals?

Answer The part of the back too hard to reach

Many mammals have a part of their back where it's impossible to scratch because it's just too hard to reach. On humans, that part sits between the shoulder blades on our backs. Technically it's defined as "that part of the spine in quadrupeds which extends from between the shoulder-blades to the loins".
