Relating to or characterized by atrophy; showing signs of wasting away or degeneration.
From 'atrophy' (Greek 'a-' without + 'trophe' nourishment) + '-al'. This term combines the noun 'atrophy' with the adjectival suffix to describe the condition or process of tissue wasting.
While 'atrophic' is more common, 'atropal' is another way to describe tissue that's literally starving—your body isn't feeding it, so it wastes away like an unplugged plant!
