Definition
A disease caused by infection with amoebas, usually transmitted through contaminated water or food, affecting the intestines.
Etymology
From ameba (Greek amoibē 'change') + -iasis (Greek suffix meaning 'condition of having'). Medical terminology uses -iasis to indicate diseases caused by parasites or organisms.
Kelly Says
The -iasis suffix is medical language's way of saying 'you've got an infestation'—malaria has plasmodiasis, tapeworms cause cestoidasis—it's the disease-naming system that doctors use to sound professional.
