Defluxion

/dɪˈflʌkʃən/ noun

Definition

A flowing down or away; a discharge or emanation, especially of humors or fluids in the body.

Etymology

From Latin defluxio (a flowing down), from defluxus. The -ion suffix (from Latin -io) creates abstract nouns from Latin verb roots, a pattern seen in mansion, passion, and erosion.

Kelly Says

Before modern medicine, 'defluxion' described the supposed movement of 'humors' through the body—ancient physicians thought all disease came from imbalanced or misdirected body fluids, so words for different flows and discharges were medically critical concepts.
