A cell that forms or contains a cyst, particularly in parasitic organisms or fungi.
From Greek 'kystis' (cyst/bladder) + 'en' (in) + 'kytos' (cell). The term combines the prefix for cyst with cell terminology to describe cyst-forming cells.
This word reveals how biologists name structures by combining their components—it's like saying 'cyst-making cell' in ancient Greek! Understanding these terms helps scientists worldwide communicate about tiny structures they might never see with their eyes.
