A medical condition where someone doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen properly throughout their body, causing weakness and fatigue.
From Greek ana- (without) + haima (blood), literally 'without blood.' This medical term has been used since the 1800s to describe blood deficiency conditions.
Anaemia is basically when your blood can't do its job properly—and your whole body notices because every cell is screaming 'I need oxygen!' That's why people feel so tired and weak. It's super common, especially in people who don't get enough iron!
