A medical term relating to the condition of having both pupils dilated or functioning abnormally, derived from Greek roots meaning 'two' and 'pupil.'
From Greek di- (two) + phrela or phrelatos (pupil of the eye). An extremely rare medical terminology preserved mainly in older ophthalmology texts.
This word is practically extinct in modern medicine, having been replaced by more precise terms like 'bilateral mydriasis'—it's a linguistic fossil showing how medical language constantly evolves and simplifies.
