Definition
In anatomy, a swelling or hernia; specifically, a protrusion of an organ or body part through the body wall.
Etymology
From Greek 'kele' meaning hernia or swelling, used as a medical suffix in words like 'hydrocele' and 'varicocele.'
Kelly Says
The Greek root 'kele' is hiding in medical words everywhere—hydrocele (water swelling), varicocele (varicose veins in the scrotum)—it's the universal medical suffix for 'bad bulge'.
