Emmeniopathy

/ˌɛmiːniˈɒpəθi/ noun

Definition

Any disease or disorder of menstruation.

Etymology

Compound of 'emmenia' (menstruation) and Greek 'pathos' (disease/suffering). This medical term combines root words to describe conditions affecting the menstrual cycle.

Kelly Says

By combining 'emmenia' with 'pathos' (the root in words like 'pathology'), doctors created a precise term for any menstrual disorder rather than having to describe symptoms one by one.
