'adnexopexy' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'adnexa,' where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'nexus' meant 'connection,' combined with the Greek 'pēxis,' meaning 'fixation.'

'adnexa' transformed into the medical term 'adnexopexy' to describe the surgical procedure of fixation.

Initially, it meant 'fixation of the adnexa,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern medical usage.
