Word origin

From New Latin hypochondria (the morbid condition so called, supposed to have its seat in the upper part of the abdomen), from hypochondrium (see English hypochondrium for more).

Used in a sentence

  • Near-synonym: hypochondriasis
  • Such labours as these, if they do not shorten life, are calculated to make it wretched, for hypochondria invariably follows close upon them.
  • His own temperament appears to have been neither purely sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, nor melancholic [...] not melancholy, since he is entirely free from hypochondria, thinks rapidly, and has an active will.
