A medical instrument used to dilate the vagina or perform gynecological procedures.
From Greek 'kolpos' (vagina) + 'eurys' (wide/broad) + '-ter' (instrument suffix). The '-ter' suffix from Greek indicates tools or instruments, as in 'barometer' or 'thermometer'.
Medical instrument names that combine Greek roots can sound intimidating, but they're actually beautifully logical once you learn the components—'colpeurynter' literally says 'vagina-widening-tool,' which is exactly what it does, yet the Greek disguise makes it sound mysterious to non-specialists!
