Etymology

From Greek an- (without) + oesis (sensation, feeling) + -ia (medical condition suffix).

Kelly Says

Anoesia is so rarely diagnosed that most modern doctors might never encounter it in practice—it requires neurological evaluation so thorough that distinguishing it from other conditions is genuinely difficult!
