Definition
Plural of emerod; multiple hemorrhoids or tumors, used in archaic or biblical contexts.
Etymology
From emerod (Old English emerod, possibly from Hebrew 'ophel') plus plural suffix -s. The word survives primarily in older biblical translations.
Kelly Says
The King James Bible uses 'emerods' to describe the plagues of Egypt and Philistine punishments—it's one reason this ancient medical term persists in English despite being replaced by 'hemorrhoid.'
