What does AGRIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalobsolete
An older medical term for a severe eruption of pustules on the skin.
Agria comes from the Greek word for wild or fierce, and nineteenth-century medical dictionaries used it for skin eruptions considered unusually aggressive compared with an ordinary rash. The term sat alongside other Greek-derived names for skin conditions that once filled dermatology textbooks before more precise modern classifications replaced them. Doctors today almost never diagnose anything as agria, and the word now appears mainly in old reference works and in word lists built from them rather than in current clinical practice. Its rarity reflects how much dermatological terminology has changed rather than any change in the skin conditions themselves.
