Abnormal Growth

/æbˈnɔːr.məl ɡroʊθ/noun
ELI5 mode

Abnormal growth refers to any uncontrolled or atypical increase in the size, number, or proliferation of cells, tissues, or organisms, often deviating from normal developmental patterns. In medical contexts, it's commonly linked to diseases like cancer, where cells divide uncontrollably, but it can also describe non-pathological anomalies in plants or economics, highlighting how context shapes its interpretation in modern science and everyday observations.
