Cele

/ˈsiːl/ noun

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'.
