Plural of epileptic; people who have epilepsy or are affected by seizure disorders.
From Greek 'epileptikos' (one who is seized) + '-s' (plural marker). A term that identifies people with the condition.
The term 'epileptic' as a noun has complicated history—advocates prefer 'person with epilepsy' because being defined entirely by a medical condition can be dehumanizing, a shift in language that reflects modern understanding that people are never just their diseases.
