A congenital medical condition in which one or both breasts fail to develop or are completely absent.
From Greek 'a-' meaning 'without' plus 'mazos' meaning 'breast,' a direct medical coinage from Greek roots used in formal anatomical terminology.
Medical Greek is remarkable—doctors needed a one-word way to describe this rare condition, so they combined a negation prefix with the Greek word for breast, creating precision that transcends language barriers worldwide.
