Pain in a gland or glandular tissue, particularly in lymph nodes or other endocrine structures.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'algos' (pain). The term combines the Greek root for gland with the common medical suffix for pain, following the pattern of medical terminology developed in the 19th century.
Doctors use this word to describe pain that might come from swollen lymph nodes or inflamed glands, but it's so specific that most people have never heard it—yet it's built from Greek roots that show up in hundreds of common medical terms.
