Inflammation of the tear gland and its duct, combining inflammation of both the lacrimal gland and the lacrimal sac.
From Greek dakryon (tear) + solen (tube/duct) + -itis (inflammation). This compound medical term layers multiple Greek elements to describe inflammation affecting multiple tear-related structures simultaneously.
Imagine inflammation spreading through your entire tear drainage system at once—the gland swells, the ducts swell, creating a cascade of problems that this one word captures perfectly!
