Brief Answer:
it is in relation to eye

Detailed Answer:

To me, it may mean eye like fundus. What you see in posterior of eye by ophthalmoscope is called fundus. In it, we examine retina, optic disc, and macula. It is presumption and probably right since I have not come across any such name in any other part of body.
