Epitheliulia

/ˌɛpɪθɛliˈuːliə/ noun

Definition

A rare or obsolete term referring to a condition involving epithelial tissue disorder.

Etymology

From epithelium + possibly -ulia (an uncommon suffix). This appears to be an archaic medical term with unclear etymology that has largely disappeared from modern usage.

Kelly Says

Old medical dictionaries are full of words like epitheliulia that doctors no longer use because we found better names or figured out those conditions were actually something else entirely!
