A medical condition characterized by the formation of multiple stones or hard masses within the intestines.
Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + 'lithos' (stone) + '-iasis' (suffix indicating a condition or disease state). The '-iasis' suffix is common for chronic conditions involving accumulation or invasion.
The '-iasis' suffix shows up in 'malaria' (from 'mal' air), 'psoriasis' (dry condition), and dozens of parasitic diseases—it's ancient Greek's way of saying 'a bad situation involving something.'
