'adenocele' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'adenos,' where 'aden-' meant 'gland,' and 'kele' meant 'tumor' or 'swelling.'

'adenos' transformed into the Latin word 'aden,' and eventually became the modern English word 'adenocele' through medical terminology.

Initially, it meant 'glandular swelling,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'cystic tumor of a gland.'
