-oma

Etymology
From, from verbs in +  (from ), which lengthens a preceding vowel.

Suffix

 * 1)  Forming nouns indicating disease or morbidity.
 * 2)  Forming nouns indicating tumors or masses, which may be non-neoplastic or (more often) neoplastic, and (if the latter) either benign or cancerous (malignant); in accord with present-day understanding of histopathology, the suffix is now nonproductive for non-neoplastic senses.

Usage notes

 * For most nouns formed with, the plural in is more common, because the suffix has been naturalized into English, but the plural in  is often preferred by people who believe that the Greek inflection needs to be retained.
