Definition
A neurological condition where a person has trouble finding or recalling the right words, especially the names of things, even though they understand what they're looking at.
Etymology
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'nomos' (law) or possibly 'noma' (name), meaning literally 'without name.' The term evolved in medical contexts in the 1800s to describe language disorders seen in stroke or brain injury patients.
Kelly Says
Anomia is the reason someone might point at a fork and struggle to say 'fork' even though they know exactly what it does and how to use it—the word is there in their brain but they can't access it! This reveals how separate our ability to recognize things is from our ability to name them.
