The word "''brackium''" is derived from [[Latin]] "''bracchium''" meaning "''forearm''" or "''arm''"<ref name="ety1">See [http://translate.google.ca/#la/en/bracchium this translation]</ref>; "''emendo''" is a Latin word meaning "''mend''" or "''fix''". Altogether, the [[incantation]] would read "''mend the forearm''".
"''Brackium''" coming from the Latin "Bracchium", meaning forearm. "''Emendo''", coming from the Latin, could mean to free of faults/to correct, but also to erase or to remove (probably the latter meaning, in this case). The Danish translation of the spell is "''Brækjern Emendo''". A brækjern is a crowbar.

"As Harry got to his feet, he felt strangely lopsided. Taking a deep breath he looked down at his right side. What he saw nearly made him pass out again. Poking out of the end of his robes was what looked like a thick, fleshcoloured rubber glove. He tried to move his fingers. Nothing happened. Lockhart hadn't mended Harry's bones. He had removed them."
— Description of this spell's effects.[src]

Brackium Emendo[1] is the incantation of a charm that can be used to heal broken bones[2]. If executed improperly, as was done by Gilderoy Lockhart in September of 1992, the targeted bones will be removed rather than fixed[2]. If such an incident occurs, Skele-Gro can be used to re-grow said bones[2].
