Definition
Affected by or characterized by edema; having swelling caused by abnormal fluid accumulation in body tissues.
Etymology
From 'edema' with the Latin adjective suffix '-ous,' used in medical English since the 1700s to describe the quality of being swollen or fluid-filled.
Kelly Says
Edematous is the adjective doctors use constantly—'edematous ankles,' 'edematous tissue,' 'edematous lungs'—and it's one of those words that immediately signals a clinical context rather than everyday English!
