Relating to or promoting the flow or discharge of bile from the gallbladder.
From Greek 'chole' (bile) + 'agogos' (leading, guiding). The suffix '-agogic' or '-agogue' refers to something that promotes or encourages the flow of a substance.
The Greek root 'agogos' (leader) appears in unexpected places: a pedagogue leads children, a demagogue leads people, and a cholagogue leads bile—the Greeks had a word-building system that worked across thousands of years.
