Meaning and Origin:
Anosmia is a medical condition characterized by the complete or partial loss of the sense of smell. It can be temporary or permanent, and can result from various causes, including head injuries, nasal infections, sinus problems, certain diseases (such as COVID-19), and exposure to certain chemicals or toxic substances.
The term "anosmia" was first used in the 18th century by the French physician Jean-Baptiste Bouillaud. It is derived from the Greek words "an-" (without) and "osmē" (smell), reflecting the condition's primary symptom of not being able to perceive odors.
