Amninia

/æmˈnɪniə/ noun

Definition

A term relating to multiple amniotic structures or conditions; likely an obsolete or highly specialized medical term.

Etymology

Appears to be a plural or collective noun constructed from amnion with Latin suffix -ia. The exact etymology is unclear and the term is not standard in modern medical dictionaries.

Kelly Says

Many medical terms from the 1800s-early 1900s simply disappeared when better terminology was developed—amninia is one of these linguistic casualties of scientific progress.
