An acquired language disorder resulting from brain damage, affecting the ability to produce or comprehend spoken or written language.
From Greek 'aphasia' meaning 'speechlessness,' from 'a-' (without) + 'phasis' (speech), from 'phanai' (to speak).
Aphasia is when brain damage steals your words — you might know exactly what you want to say but can't get it out, or hear words that sound like gibberish.
