A small rounded protuberance or swelling; a small gland-like structure.
From Latin 'glans' (acorn, gland) + diminutive suffix '-eola' (little). This creates a 'little gland' term used in anatomical description.
Diminutive Latin suffixes like '-eola' are botanical and anatomical gold—they let scientists say 'this little version of a structure' without inventing entirely new words.
