In Bot. -oma has usu. been anglicized to -ome. In Med. the examples of sarcoma (17th c. in English) and carcinoma (18th c.) have been taken as types on which to base new names of neoplasms and other localized swellings, -oma ( -ome) being used as a suffix denoting ‘tumour, growth’ (cf. also Gr. ὄγκωµα swelling): e.g. fibroma ( fibrome), cementoma, oligodendroglioma, tuberculoma ( tuberculome).
