Definition
A medical X-ray image of the breast used to detect cancer and other abnormalities early.
Etymology
From Latin 'mamma' (breast) combined with Greek 'gramma' (something written or recorded). It's a modern compound created in the 1950s when the technology became available and standardized.
Kelly Says
Mammograms demonstrate why medical terminology uses Latin and Greek—doctors needed a universal term that worked across all languages, so they combined ancient root words rather than creating new words in English, French, German, etc., separately.
