Etymology of IRIDECTOMESODIALYSIS
The word "iridectomesodialysis" is a medical term composed of three root words - "iridectomy", "meso", and "dialysis". Here is the breakdown of each component:
1. "Iridectomy": This term is derived from the combination of the Greek word "iris" (meaning rainbow) and the Greek word "ektomḗ" (meaning excision or removal). "Iridectomy" refers to a surgical procedure involving the removal of a portion of the iris (the colored part of the eye).
2. "Meso-": This prefix stems from the Greek word "mesos" (meaning middle or in between). It is commonly used as a prefix in medical terminology to signify something located in the middle.
3. "Dialysis": This term is derived from the Greek word "dialusis" (meaning dissolution or separation).
