A hypothetical or rare condition involving pathological insertion of malformed tissue or structural elements; an obsolete medical term.
From Greek 'embolos' (insertion) + 'maleria' or related to 'malum' (bad) + '-ism' (condition). An extremely rare or virtually extinct medical coinage.
This word is so obscure it's basically medical dead-letter mail—created by combining Greek and Latin roots in a way that seemed logical to 19th-century doctors but never caught on in actual practice!
