A medical condition characterized by excessive mucus discharge from the nasal passages or mucous lining of the nose.
From Greek blenna (mucus) + rhoia (flow) + -inia (nasal condition suffix). This term specifically applies the general blennorrhea concept to the nasal cavity.
Ancient Greek doctors were brilliant pattern-makers: they used the 'blenna-' prefix for any mucus problem, then added different anatomical suffixes (-inia for nose, -itis for inflammation) to create a whole vocabulary of related diseases.
