'adenomyoma' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'adeno-' meaning 'gland' and 'myoma' meaning 'muscle tumor'.

'adenomyoma' was derived from the Greek words 'adeno' and 'myoma', and eventually became the modern English word 'adenomyoma'.

Initially, it meant 'a tumor involving glandular and muscular tissue', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
