An arcosolium is an arched recess used as a place of entombment. The word is from Latin arcus, "arch", and solium, "throne" (literally: "place of state") or post-classical "sarcophagus". Early arcosolia were carved out of the living rock in catacombs.

Psyllium is an ingredient in a fiber supplement and ARCO is a major gas company which leads me to believe it is a condition requiring a lower gastrointestinal exam!

Well, I'm bettig is has an arc or arch based on the name. Maybe something to do with the sun or a room based on the "sol" and that "solium" sounds like "solarium". Based on my reasoning, it sounds like there should be a pot of gold at the end of it! LOL!
