A varicose condition or enlargement of veins, particularly in medical or veterinary contexts.
From Greek kirsos (varicose vein) and -cele (hernia or swelling). The term combines the Greek roots for varicose condition and swelling.
Cirsocele in horses is surprisingly common, and ancient veterinarians actually had fairly effective surgical treatments—it shows that humans have been solving vein problems for thousands of years.
