A nosebleed, or bleeding from the blood vessels in the nose, which is a common medical condition that can range from minor to severe.
From Greek 'epistaxis,' derived from 'epi' (upon) + 'tassein' (to drip or flow), literally meaning 'a dripping upon,' describing blood flowing from the nose.
The word 'epistaxis' sounds scary, but doctors use it for something almost everyone experiences—your nose knows this ancient Greek word better than you do!
