1. wen

   There does not seem to be a term "wen" as a common term in the English language. However, in medical terms, 'wen' is often used colloquially to refer to a cyst or benign tumor, especially on the skin. The term originates from Old English, where it was used to describe a lump or swelling. In some instances, it's used in East Asian culture to refer to a certain type of fish. Please provide more context if you are referring to a different kind of "wen".
