Loss or absence of desire, appetite, or emotional passion.
From Greek 'ab-' (away, without) + 'epithumia' (desire, appetite), itself from 'epi-' (upon) + 'thumos' (spirit, mind). The term was used in classical Greek philosophy and later revived in medical and psychological contexts.
Medieval monks actually used concepts related to this word to describe spiritual states—it bridges ancient philosophy about human desire with modern psychology's understanding of depression and anhedonia.
