Epididymides

/ˌɛpɪdɪˈdɪmɪdiːz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of epididymis; multiple coiled tubes in the male reproductive system.

Etymology

From Greek 'epididymos' with the plural suffix '-ides' (Greek plural form). This is the correct anatomical plural used in medical and biological texts.

Kelly Says

Here's a fun fact: Latin loves '-us' plurals, but Greek loves '-ides' plurals—so if you see 'epididymides,' you're looking at proper classical medical anatomy terminology!
