A rare medical condition involving stiffness or deformity of the limbs, particularly the arms or hands.
From Greek 'ankylo-' (stiff, bent) and 'melos' (limb or member). An archaic or specialized medical term from orthopedic terminology.
This term is so old that it's barely used in modern medicine anymore—doctors would just say 'limb stiffness' or 'contracture' today. It's like finding a dinosaur in a medical dictionary!
