A pathological condition involving the absence or significant reduction of globulins in the blood.
From prefix 'a-' (without) + 'globulin' + suffix '-ism' (condition or state). This is a medical term formed using classical Greek/Latin word-building patterns common in pathology.
Medical terminology often uses '-ism' to indicate diseases (like 'alcoholism' or 'gigantism'), and 'aglobulism' follows that same pattern—it's the noun form of the condition that 'aglobulia' names, showing how medical vocabulary builds alternative forms.
