Axonia

/ækˈsoʊniə/ noun

Definition

The plural form of axonium; the condition of possessing an axon or axons, or the collection of axons in a structure.

Etymology

From Greek 'axon' (axis) with the Latin feminine plural suffix '-ia,' creating a term for the state or condition of having axons.

Kelly Says

This is a wonderfully obscure medical term that essentially means 'axon-ness'—it captures the idea that some structures are defined entirely by whether they have axons or not.
