A medical condition characterized by the inability to sweat or a complete lack of sweat production in the body or a specific area.
From an- (without) + hydro (water) + -osis (medical condition suffix). This Greek-based medical term literally means 'the condition of being without water loss through sweating' and emerged in 19th-century medical literature.
Anhydrosis is genuinely dangerous—sweating is how your body prevents overheating, so people with this condition can literally overheat and suffer organ damage in warm weather or during exercise.
