Definition
A medical condition characterized by involuntary, writhing movements of the limbs, often caused by brain damage or neurological disorders.
Etymology
From Greek 'athetos' (not placed, not set), referring to movements that seem uncontrolled and unplaced. The term emerged in neurology during the 19th century as physicians classified movement disorders.
Kelly Says
The Greek root 'athetos' (not placed) perfectly captures what's happening—the person's limbs are moving but seem 'not placed' under their control, like a puppet with tangled strings!
