Amixia

/eɪˈmɪksiə/ noun

Definition

A medical condition characterized by the inability to properly combine or mix fluids or substances in the body.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'mixis' (mixing) + the medical suffix '-ia' (condition). The term is technical and rarely used in modern medical literature.

Kelly Says

This is a medical term so specialized and obscure that modern doctors barely use it, yet it appears in comprehensive medical dictionaries and historical texts—it's the kind of word that proves no medical condition is too small to have a Greek name.
