A language disorder or speech impairment, often used interchangeably with dysphasia to describe difficulty with language production or comprehension.
From Greek 'dys-' (bad/difficult) and 'phrasis' (speech/phrasing). This term is largely archaic, having been replaced in modern medical usage by 'dysphasia' and 'aphasia.'
Dysphrasia is a linguistic ghost word—barely used in modern medicine, it reminds us that medical terminology constantly evolves as our understanding improves, and yesterday's standard term becomes today's curiosity.
