A condition or state of being away from normal sensory perception or sensory mode in medical or neurological contexts.
From Latin prefix 'ab-' (meaning 'away from') combined with 'modality' (from Latin 'modus' for 'manner' or 'mode'), used in medical terminology since the 19th century.
Doctors use 'abmodality' when discussing patients who've lost a specific sense—not the sense itself, but the neurological ability to process information through that channel, which is distinctly different from simple sensory loss.
