The ability to feel pain or the sensation of pain in the body.
From Greek 'algesis' or 'algos' (pain), derived from an Indo-European root meaning to hurt or suffer. This medical and scientific term emerged in English through Latin and Greek medical terminology.
Doctors have discovered that some people are born without the ability to feel pain (a condition called congenital analgesia), which sounds like a superpower but is actually terrible because pain is your body's warning system telling you something is wrong.
