Celioncus

/siːliˈɒŋkəs/ noun

Definition

A hernia or swelling that protrudes through the abdominal wall.

Etymology

From Greek koilia (belly) and onkos (mass, tumor, or swelling). This older medical term describes the bulge caused by abdominal contents pushing through weakened muscles.

Kelly Says

Hernias were such a common problem in ancient times that they're mentioned in some of the earliest medical texts, and surgeons were already attempting repairs over 2,000 years ago using surprisingly sophisticated techniques.
