Endangeitis

/ˌɛndænˌdʒiːˈaɪtɪs/ noun

Definition

Inflammation of the endanger structures or tissues, a rare medical condition involving inflammatory response in internal areas.

Etymology

From endo- (within) + danger (peril, from Old French dangier) + -itis (inflammation suffix). This appears to be a specialized medical term combining ancient anatomical terminology with modern pathological classification.

Kelly Says

This term is so obscure that it barely appears in modern medical literature, which shows how medical terminology sometimes creates words for theoretical conditions before anyone actually documents a real case.
