Angioplany

/ændʒiˈɒplənɪ/ noun

Definition

The wandering or erratic course of blood vessels, especially when they deviate from their normal anatomical path.

Etymology

From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + 'plane' (wandering, straying). This is an extremely rare medical term, likely appearing only in specialized anatomical texts describing unusual vascular arrangements.

Kelly Says

Imagine a blood vessel that decides to take a scenic route instead of the direct path—angioplany describes this anatomical wandering, which doctors find fascinating because it usually indicates developmental variation or disease.
