Plural of embryectomy; surgical procedures that remove embryos.
From Greek embryon (embryo) plus -ectomy (from Greek ektemnein, meaning to cut out). The combining forms come from medical Latin and create a precise surgical term.
Medical terminology often looks intimidating, but it's actually modular—once you know 'embryo' and '-ectomy' (which appears in appendectomy, vasectomy, etc.), you can decode dozens of surgical procedures.
