Definition
Plural of haemorrhoid; multiple swollen veins in the tissue around the anus.
Etymology
Plural form of haemorrhoid, formed by adding -s. The singular form traces to Greek 'haima' + 'rhoos' (blood-flowing), reflecting how ancient physicians understood and named this common condition.
Kelly Says
Interestingly, not all hemorrhoids cause problems—many people have them asymptomatically. They're actually just a normal part of anal anatomy that becomes a 'condition' only when they become enlarged or irritated.
