An excessive discharge or flow of bile, particularly a medical condition of abnormal bile secretion.
From Greek 'chole' (bile) + 'rhea' (flow). This medical term uses the common '-rhea' suffix seen in conditions like diarrhea to describe excessive bile production or discharge.
Cholorrhea was a diagnosis doctors gave to patients with mysterious digestive troubles, and while the term fell out of favor, modern medicine recognizes that too much bile secretion really does cause problems including severe diarrhea!
