Explanation:
Caudally the genito-inguinal ligament, or 'gubernaculum', connects the lower pole of the gonad and epididymis to the future inguinal canal. The gubernaculum was so-named by John Hunter in the eighteenth century because he thought that it steered the testis to the scrotum.

Anatomical terminology. The paired gubernacula (from Ancient Greek κυβερνάω = pilot, steer) also called the caudal genital ligament, are embryonic structures which begin as undifferentiated mesenchyme attaching to the caudal end of the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females).
