The common bile duct that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder into the small intestine.
From Greek 'chole' (bile) + 'dochos' (receptacle or vessel). This shortened form is used as a root in many medical terms related to the bile duct system.
Think of the choledoch as the delivery highway for bile—if something blocks it, your body can't digest fats properly, which is why bile duct problems cause serious digestive issues.
