Relating to or characterized by pain; causing pain or relating to the sensation of pain.
From Greek 'algos' (pain) combined with the English adjective suffix '-etic.' This medical term is used to describe conditions, stimuli, or sensations associated with pain.
Doctors sometimes talk about 'algetic symptoms' to describe pain-related complaints, but the term is becoming less common as medical language evolves toward more specific descriptions of what kind of pain and where.
