Bilious is the WORD you're looking for.
Chole

bile (Note: Chole plus cyst, meaning bladder, equals gallbladder;

chole plus doch, meaning duct, equals choledocho or common bile duct.)

Answer 2

The combining form is cholecyst-; A gallstone is medically termed cholelithiasis. The removal of a gallbladder is cholecystectmy. And from there procedural or condition terms append the prefix.

A disease of the gallbladder is termed cholecystitis, while the removal of a gallbladder is known as a cholecystectomy. Conversely, the urinary bladder has a prefix cyst-, so a disease of the urinary bladder: cystitis; removal of the urinary bladder: cystectomy, a common method of examining the bladder is by cystoscopy, and a bladder stone is cystolithiasis. The prefix medical term for BILE is bili- because the correct medical term for bile is bilirubin.
Cholecyst/o.
