Definition
A dangerous condition where the body's core temperature drops below the normal level, causing weakness and confusion.
Etymology
From Greek 'hypo-' (below) and 'thermē' (heat), literally meaning 'below heat'. The medical term was coined in the 20th century as understanding of body temperature regulation improved.
Kelly Says
Hypothermia can be deceptively dangerous because victims sometimes experience 'paradoxical undressing'—they feel so hot they remove clothing right before they collapse! It's one of the few life-threatening conditions where the body sabotages its own survival.
