Derivatives

embryonal

adjective ˈɛmbrɪən(ə)lɛmˈbrʌɪən(ə)l

Relating to an embryo.

Example sentencesExamples
- embryonal tumours

embryoid

adjective

Example sentencesExamples

Origin

Late Middle English: via late Latin from Greek embruon 'fetus', from em- 'into' + bruein 'swell, grow'.

This comes via late Latin from Greek embruon ‘foetus’, from em- ‘into’ and bruein ‘swell, grow’.
