Words used in medical terminology (Like many areas of science) were made using specific latin roots for a reason you numpty, and the reason why is so the definition is clear and set, and there won't be some idiot insisting a word means something it doesn't.
Take hypoglycemia for example. Hypo: Low Glyc: Sugar -emia: In blood.
Just try to divine what hypoglycemia could POSSIBLY mean given that information. It's a bit more than a fucking hint.
Dermatitis? Derma: Skin -itis: Inflammation. Sweet JESUS what ever could dermatitis mean?!?!?
Next you're going to tell me pericarditis, containing the roots Peri (Around) Card (Heart, Cardio) -itis (inflammation) means inflammation around the heart! Insanity!
So what ever in WORLD could a medical condition named HYDROPHOBIA ever mean?
