Arthrogenous

/ɑrˈθrɑdʒənəs/ adjective

Definition

Originating in or produced by a joint; caused by or arising from a joint condition.

Etymology

From Greek 'arthro-' meaning joint and '-genous' meaning producing or originating from, used in medical terminology for joint-related causes.

Kelly Says

When doctors say a symptom is arthrogenous, they've solved a mystery—they've traced pain or swelling back to its source in the joint itself rather than nearby muscles or nerves.
