Plural form of atheroma in medical terminology, referring to multiple fatty deposits in arteries.
From Greek 'atheroma' using the regular Greek pluralization ending '-ta'. This form appears in older medical texts and formal Latin-derived terminology.
In medical Latin, '-ta' is how you make things plural, so instead of saying 'lots of atheromas,' fancy doctors would say 'atheromata'—it's the language of Hippocrates still echoing in hospital hallways!
