Medical inflammation of the hip joint (coxa); another name for coxalgia or hip joint inflammation.
From Latin 'coxa' (hip) + '-itis' (suffix meaning inflammation). A direct medical term formed from classical Latin roots following standard medical terminology conventions.
Medical '-itis' terms are some of the oldest survivor words in English—doctors in the 1600s used the same 'coxa + itis' formula we use today, making medical Latin almost 400 years of continuous use!
