اشتباه رایج:
Learners often think a "tumor" always means cancer. In fact, a tumor can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Another common confusion is between the spellings "tumor" (US) and "tumour" (UK); both mean the same thing. Some learners also mix up "tumor" with "swelling" or "inflammation"; a tumor is a specific kind of abnormal tissue growth, not just any swelling.
معنی
abnormal mass of body tissue

معنی
harmful problem that grows and spreads
ترکیبهای رایج
a tumor on society
|a tumor within the system
|a moral tumor
|the tumor of corruption
|a growing tumor in the organization
هممعنیها
