Inflammation of the jaw or jawbone.
From Greek 'gnathos' (jaw) plus '-itis' (inflammation), following the standard medical pattern for describing inflamed structures.
The -itis suffix is medicine's universal warning sign—whenever you see it, you know something is inflamed and causing problems, whether it's gnathitis, bronchitis, or any other -itis condition.
