Relating to or affecting the glans (the rounded tip of the penis).
From Greek 'balanos' (acorn, glans), derived from the acorn's shape resembling the anatomical structure. Medical terminology in English adopted this Greek root for anatomical descriptions.
Ancient Greek doctors named this part 'balanos' because it reminded them of an acorn—that's why we still use that acorn-based root word in modern medical terms for this body part.
