A pathological condition or medical term, possibly relating to extreme or intense sensations, derived from Greek roots.
From Greek akron (extreme or peak) combined with -asis (a condition or process), creating a medical term suggesting an extreme or heightened state.
Medical Greek combines simple building blocks to create very specific meanings—once you know 'akron' means 'extreme' and '-asis' means a condition, you can guess what dozens of medical terms mean before you look them up.
