The medical study of weakness, debility, and asthenic conditions; the science of weakness.
From Greek 'asthenos' (weak) + 'logia' (study of), forming a scientific discipline for studying weakness conditions.
Though not a commonly used term today, asthenology emerged in 19th-century medicine when doctors were trying to scientifically classify and understand the epidemic of weakness and fatigue complaints they saw in their patients.
