Excessive production and discharge of mucus from the bronchial airways, often seen in chronic bronchitis or cystic fibrosis.
From broncho- (airways) plus blennorrhea (from Greek blenna meaning 'mucus' and rhoia meaning 'flow' or 'discharge'). This archaic term precisely describes the symptom of abnormal mucus production.
Bronchoblennorrhea is one of those wonderfully precise but archaic medical terms that perfectly captures a symptom—the word itself sounds like the wet, gurgling quality of excessive mucus in the airways, almost onomatopoetic in nature.
