A protrusion or herniation of tissue from the glans penis; a medical condition involving bulging of the glans.
From Greek 'balanos' (glans) plus 'kele' (hernia or rupture). Medical terminology combines these Greek roots to describe anatomical abnormalities.
'-cele' is the medical suffix for hernias or protrusions—you see it in words like 'hydrocele' (water sac) and 'varicocele' (enlarged veins)—all describing tissue pushing where it shouldn't be.
