Coxalgic

/kɒkˈsældʒɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by coxalgia; experiencing hip joint pain.

Etymology

Derived from 'coxalgia' with the adjectival suffix '-ic,' used medically to describe patients or conditions involving hip pain.

Kelly Says

When you add '-ic' to a medical noun, you can turn it into an adjective that describes either the person experiencing it or the condition itself—'a coxalgic patient' or 'coxalgic symptoms.'
