Bubonalgia

/ˌbjuːboʊˈnældʒə/ noun

Definition

Pain in the lymph nodes, especially in the groin area.

Etymology

From Greek 'boubon' (groin) combined with 'algos' (pain), creating a medical term for the painful inflammation of these glands.

Kelly Says

This is a medical term that combines two Greek roots to describe a specific kind of pain—it's how doctors talk about when your lymph nodes hurt, which is actually your body's way of fighting off infection.
