Etymology
Esophageal comes from the Greek name for the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach, the esophagus, and the ending -al means 'relating to'. So esophageal simply means 'relating to the esophagus', which is why doctors use it when they talk about swallowing or acid problems in that tube.
