Surface Forms

dyssodia singular

dyssodias plural

Morphology

dyssodia = dys + sodia

The sense corresponds to 'bad' (dys-) + a form referring to smell, so the idea 'bad smell' underlies the meaning, but the root element is not a recognizable English word for average learners.

Etymology

Dyssodia for the medical condition also comes from Greek parts dys- ('bad') and -odia ('smell'), so it literally means 'bad smell'. That's why the word is used for an unpleasant body odor.
