Did you know?
- The prefix poli- in poliquístico comes from the Greek 'polys', meaning 'many', which is the same root found in the English word 'polyglot'.
- The preposition de used in this phrase is one of the oldest words in the Spanish language, having descended from Latin and even further back to Proto-Indo-European roots.
- In Spanish medical contexts, the term quístico (cystic) shares the same Greek root as the word 'cyst', which describes a fluid-filled sac.
