Relating to or caused by gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted bacterial infection.
From 'gonorrhea' (Greek 'gonos' meaning seed + 'rhoia' meaning flow, so literally 'seed flow'). The disease was named by ancient Greek physicians who misidentified the discharge as lost semen rather than pus.
The ancient Greeks got it hilariously wrong—they thought the discharge was lost reproductive material, so they named it 'seed flow,' which stuck for over 2,000 years even after doctors figured out it was actually a bacterial infection.
