An alternative medical term for apyrexia, meaning the absence or cessation of fever.
A variant spelling of apyrexia from Greek roots, used inconsistently in 19th-century medical texts before standardization on 'apyrexia' as the preferred form.
This word is basically the Victorian-era version of autocorrect gone wrong—medical terminology was standardizing rapidly, and 'apyrexy' lost the battle to 'apyrexia' in clinical literature!
