'adenolymphoma' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'adeno-' meaning 'gland' and 'lymphoma' meaning 'lymph tumor'.

'adenolymphoma' was derived from the combination of Greek roots 'adeno-' and 'lymphoma' to describe a specific type of tumor.

Initially, it meant 'glandular lymph tumor', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern medical terminology.
