The term 'RETINA LOCALE' is composed of two words: 'RETINA' and 'LOCALE'. RETINA is an EYE-related term, referring to the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the EYE. It is responsible for converting light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, allowing us to see. LOCALE, on the other hand, refers to a particular place or area, usually associated with a specific culture or language. Together, the two words form a phrase that can be interpreted as 'the area of the EYE where light is converted into electrical signals'.
