Morphology
adenomatous = adenoma (transparent) = adenomat + ous
Formed from the noun 'adenoma' via the stem 'adenomat-' plus the adjectival suffix '-ous', so the meaning is directly related to glandular tumors.
Etymology
The word adenomatous comes from the Greek root aden- meaning 'gland', shown in the medical word adenoma meaning 'gland tumor', and the ending -ous meaning 'full of'. So, adenomatous means 'having gland-like tissue', which is why doctors use it for growths or tumors made of gland cells.
