Esophagopathy

/ˌɛsəfəˈɡɑpəθi/ noun

Definition

Any disease or disorder affecting the esophagus, a general medical term for esophageal conditions.

Etymology

From Greek 'esophagos' (esophagus) plus '-pathy' (disease or disorder), a broad medical term used to describe any pathological condition.

Kelly Says

Esophagopathy is an umbrella term—it covers everything from acid reflux to cancer—so doctors usually need to specify which esophagopathy they mean!
