People who have aphasia, a language disorder that affects the ability to speak, understand, or use words after brain injury or stroke.
From Greek 'aphatos' (speechless), derived from 'a-' (not) and 'phasis' (speech). The plural form 'aphasics' emerged in English medical terminology during the 19th century.
People with aphasia often understand everything you say but struggle to find words—like having your thoughts trapped behind a locked door that your brain forgot the combination to.
