Definition
A student who is absent from university examinations due to illness and receives a medical exemption.
Etymology
From Latin aegrotans (being sick), the present participle of aegrotare (to be sick). Used in British university systems to indicate authorized absence due to medical reasons.
Kelly Says
This is a real term still used in British universities—when you're too sick to take an exam, you become an 'aegrotant' and get official protection rather than a failing grade. It's one of those wonderfully specific academic words that sounds like something from Harry Potter.
