OTO-RHINO-LARYNGOLOGY
MEANING: noun: The branch of medicine dealing with the ear, nose, and throat. Also known as otolaryngology.
ETYMOLOGY: The word is coined so that one is forced to use all three -- ear, nose, and throat -- to be able to pronounce it. Either that, or it's from Greek oto- (ear) + rhino- (nose) + laryngo- (larynx) + -logy (study). Earliest documented use: 1900. Also, see rhinorrhea.
