A medical condition involving weakness or loss of control in urination.
From Greek akrasia (weakness) + ouresis (urination, from ouron meaning 'urine'). This is a specialized medical term combining philosophical and anatomical concepts.
This rare medical term beautifully shows how Greek philosophical vocabulary (acrasy) got repurposed by doctors to describe physical problems—the same root word describing both mental and bodily weakness!
