Resembling or having the characteristics of epilepsy; describing something that looks like or mimics epileptic seizures.
From Greek 'epileptikos' (seizing) + Latin '-form' (having the shape or form of), meaning 'seizure-like in appearance.'
Doctors distinguish between true epileptic seizures and 'epileptiform' activity on brain scans—you can have abnormal brain waves that look like epilepsy but don't cause actual seizures, which is why EEG readings can be tricky to interpret.
