Definition
A condition involving excessive mucus in the intestines or the presence of mucus-secreting tissue in the bowels.
Etymology
From Greek 'blenna' (mucus) + 'enteron' (intestine). Medical terminology from the 19th century combining these roots to name intestinal mucus disorders.
Kelly Says
Ancient physicians didn't understand germ theory, so they attributed many digestive problems to 'excess mucus' or 'bad humors'—this term is a linguistic fossil from that era of medicine.
