Explanation: This is a compound word formed from 'μαστός' (mastos), meaning 'breast' or 'nipple', and 'εἶδος' (eidos), meaning 'form' or 'shape'. The ending '-υο' suggests a dual form, indicating 'two' of something. Therefore, it describes something that is breast-shaped or like two breasts, often referring to a pair of protuberances or mounds that resemble breasts. It can function as an adjective describing such a shape or as a noun referring to the two objects themselves.
