An alternative or archaic form of athymia; the condition of lacking emotion or will.
Variant form of 'athymia' with Greek roots 'a-' (without) + 'thymos' (spirit/emotion), using an older English spelling convention.
Medical terminology evolved over centuries, and 'athymy' shows the messiness of that history—older doctors preferred this shorter form, but 'athymia' eventually won out, the way 'grey' and 'gray' both survive but one becomes standard.
