Definition
A medical or pathological term referring to a skin condition or disease marked by severe pustules or malignant sores.
Etymology
From Greek kakos (bad) + anthrax (coal, carbuncle). Medical term constructed from classical roots to describe a particularly severe anthrax or similar skin infection.
Kelly Says
Anthrax gets its name from the coal-black color of the skin lesions, so cacanthrax literally means 'bad coal'—medical terminology often creates meanings by stacking Greek roots like LEGO bricks.
