'angiomyoma' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'angeion' meaning 'vessel', 'mys' meaning 'muscle', and 'oma' meaning 'tumor'.

'angiomyoma' was formed in modern medical terminology by combining Greek roots to describe a tumor made of blood vessels and muscle, and it became the standard term in English medical literature.

Initially, it meant 'a tumor composed of blood vessels and muscle', and this meaning has remained unchanged in modern medical usage.
