Etymology of MEGALOMELIA

The word "megalomelia" is derived from two Greek roots: "megalos", meaning "large" or "great", and "melos", meaning "limb" or "appendage".

The term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe certain congenital or acquired disorders that result in excessive growth or hypertrophy of limbs.
