Definition

Etymology
The phrase "endocrine surgeon" combines "endocrine," derived from the Greek words 'endon' meaning 'within' and 'krinein' meaning 'to separate or secrete,' with "surgeon," which comes from the Greek 'cheirourgos,' meaning 'hand worker.' Together, they describe a specialist who operates on glands that secrete hormones internally.
