Aquocellolitis

/ˌækwoʊˌsɛloʊˈlaɪtɪs/ noun

Definition

Inflammation of the aqueous chamber of the eye, which is the fluid-filled space inside the front part of your eyeball.

Etymology

From Latin 'aqua' (water) + 'cellula' (small chamber) + Greek '-itis' (inflammation). The term combines the medical understanding of the eye's fluid-filled anterior chamber with the standard medical suffix for inflammatory conditions.

Kelly Says

This rare eye condition combines Latin, Greek, and medical terminology in a way that perfectly describes what's happening—inflammation of the water-filled cell of your eye. Most people never hear this word because the condition itself is quite uncommon, but it shows how medical language precisely names body parts and their problems.
