A medical condition where both blood and chyle (fatty lymph fluid) are present in the urine, usually indicating damage to lymphatic and urinary systems.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'chylos' (chyle/juice) + 'ouron' (urine). Combines three Greek roots to describe an abnormal mixture appearing in urine, a term developed in modern medical terminology during the 19th century.
This word perfectly demonstrates how medical language builds complexity by stacking Greek roots—it's like a scientific LEGO set where each piece adds a new symptom. Doctors can describe incredibly specific conditions with precision that plain English can't match.
