Characterized by slow-moving or sluggish disease progression.
From Greek 'brady-' (slow) and 'nosos' (disease). This rare medical term describes conditions that advance gradually rather than acutely.
Chronic diseases like slow-growing cancers are bradynosus—they fool us because the slowness makes them seem less threatening, yet they can be just as serious as fast-moving conditions.
