A medical condition characterized by the absence of fingernails or toenails, either present at birth or acquired.
From Greek 'an-' (without) + 'onyx' (nail) + '-ia' (medical condition suffix); literally means 'without nails,' combining ancient medical terminology.
Anychia shows how Greek medical terminology is still a living system—doctors combine ancient roots to name new syndromes, making medical language feel like modern Latin used by scholars.
