Loss of the sense of smell on one side of the nose or affecting one side of the olfactory system.
From 'hemi-' plus 'anosmia' (Greek 'an-,' without, and 'osmē,' smell). Medical term for unilateral loss of smell.
If you lose smell on just one side, it hints that something unusual happened—our smell pathways cross in interesting ways, so one-sided loss points to specific locations of damage!
