Etymology of FALLOTOMY

The word "fallotomy" comes from the combination of two Greek roots: "phallo" and "tomy".

The root "phallo" is derived from the Greek word "phallos", which refers to the penis. This root is often used in medical terminology to indicate conditions, procedures, or terms related to the penis.

The second root, "tomy", is derived from the Greek word "tomḗ", which means "a cutting" or "a section". It is commonly used in medical terms to indicate a surgical procedure involving incisions or cutting.

Therefore, "fallotomy" is a medical term that refers to the surgical procedure involving the cutting or incision of the penis, typically for therapeutic purposes.
