Blennemesis

/ˌblɛˈnɛmɪsɪs/ noun

Definition

Excessive production or discharge of mucus, or opposition to mucus buildup in medical treatment.

Etymology

From Greek 'blenna' (mucus) + 'nemesis' (vengeance or opposition). The term suggests fighting against or opposing excessive mucus.

Kelly Says

The 'nemesis' part literally means 'the goddess of vengeance' in Greek—so this word playfully frames treatment as defeating the mucus like a superhero battle!
