A severe pain or gout occurring in the joints, causing aching and inflammation in the articulations of the bones.
From Greek 'arthron' (joint) combined with 'agra' (seizure or attack), literally meaning 'joint seizure.' This term was common in older medical writing to describe acute joint pain.
Arthragra is an old word for what we'd now call acute gouty arthritis—that sudden, excruciating joint pain that makes you wonder if a tiny demon took hold of your big toe, which is basically what gout feels like.
