Plural of encopresis; medical term for involuntary defecation or fecal incontinence.
From Greek en- (in) + kopros (feces) + -esis (condition/process). Medical terminology created by combining Greek roots to describe a physiological condition without taboo language.
Doctors use Greek and Latin roots like 'kopros' (feces) to discuss embarrassing bodily functions in clinical language—it's medical euphemism! You'd never say 'poop problem' in a hospital; you'd say 'encopresis' to sound scientific and protect dignity.
