Definition
A condition of malnutrition or failure to thrive, especially in infants, due to inadequate nutrition or care.
Etymology
From Greek a- (prefix meaning 'not' or 'without') plus threpsis (from trephein 'to feed' or 'to nourish'). The term literally means 'without nourishment' and was common in early pediatric medicine.
Kelly Says
Athrepsia was the medical term doctors used a century ago for what we now call 'failure to thrive'—but the old word literally means 'without nourishment' and doctors used it even when babies weren't getting enough love or touch, not just food!
