Anginose

/ænˈdʒɪnoʊs/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or affected with angina; relating to or typical of angina symptoms.

Etymology

From Latin 'angina' (strangling sensation) + '-ose' (full of, characterized by). Medical adjective indicating a condition is dominated by or full of angina characteristics.

Kelly Says

The '-ose' suffix means 'full of' (like 'verbose' meaning full of words), so 'anginose' literally means full of angina symptoms—and older medical texts use it to describe patients who have particularly severe, frequent, or pronounced chest pain episodes.
