Dinormocytosis, a medical term associated with abnormal red blood cells, is spelled phonetically as /daɪnɔːməsaɪˈtoʊsɪs/. The word consists of four syllables, with the accent on the third syllable. The initial "d" is pronounced as a voiced dental fricative sound while the "i" is pronounced as a long "a" sound. The "y" is pronounced as a short "i" sound. The "s" and "o" are pronounced as they appear. The second half of the word, "cytosis," simply refers to the abnormal increase in cell count.

The word "dinormocytosis" is derived from several Greek roots. It can be broken down as follows:
1. "Di-" means double or twice.
2. "Normo-" stands for normal or regular.
3. "Cyt" refers to cells.
4. "-Osis" is a suffix that denotes a condition or state.
Combining these elements, "dinormocytosis" can be defined as a condition characterized by the presence of abnormally large red blood cells (erythrocytes) in double the normal amount or concentration.
