Greek to English
Medical
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
It's a side effect of a drug. I found acataposis in my dictionary, but Pubmed only comes up with one (!) reference that uses that word. Can anybody suggest anything better? I understand it means having difficulty swallowing, but I don't know the technical term.

It derives from the Greek root dys meaning difficulty or disordered, and phagia meaning "to eat". It is a sensation that suggests difficulty in the passage of solids or ***liquids *** from the mouth to the stomach.

I agree, Philip; I would go with the dysphagia for exactly the same reasons: clarity of meaning in the target language.

Comment: "Thanks to both of you. I'm going with dysphagia for various reasons:
1. It's in ICD10.
2. Pubmed finds almost 40,000 references compared to zero for both dyscataposis and aglutition.
3. Almost all the definitions of it I find give "difficulty in swallowing, which is the intended meaning.
Philip"
