Pain or soreness in the tongue, often caused by inflammation, infection, or nerve problems.
From Greek glōssa (tongue) combined with -algia, a medical suffix meaning 'pain,' used to name conditions involving pain in specific body parts.
Glossalgia is burning tongue syndrome's fancy scientific name, and doctors still use this Greek combo to diagnose why your tongue feels like it's on fire.
