A person with albinism, a condition where the body produces little or no pigment, resulting in pale skin, white hair, and light eyes.
From Latin 'albus' meaning white, combined with the agent suffix '-in' or '-ine'. The term relates to the medical condition albinism. While it can be used descriptively, it's considered outdated; modern usage prefers 'person with albinism' or 'albino.'
