A condition of glandular weakness or reduced glandular function throughout the body.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'astheneia' (weakness). The term combines the roots for 'gland' and 'lack of strength' to describe compromised glandular activity.
This word captures something doctors struggled to name before modern endocrinology: the sense that someone's glands weren't firing on all cylinders, affecting everything from energy to hormone balance.
