The state or condition of being without an anus or anal opening.
From Greek 'a-' (without) plus 'proktos' (anus). This medical/biological term combines the Greek negative prefix with the anatomical term to describe the absence of this opening.
Some primitive animals and parasitic organisms don't have an anus—they can only take things in but never eliminate waste, which seems like a pretty serious design flaw in nature!
