Inflammation of the canthus or corner of the eye, often characterized by redness, swelling, or irritation.
From canthus (corner of eye) plus '-itis' (inflammation), a standard medical formation indicating an inflammatory condition.
The '-itis' suffix is medical Latin's way of saying 'angry'—so canthitis means your eye corner is literally throwing a tantrum!
