Definitions

  1. inflammation of one or both parotid glands

Word origin

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek παρωτῖτις (parōtîtis, “(disease of the) parotid gland”), from παρωτίς (parōtís, “gland behind the ear”). By surface analysis, parot(id) + -itis.

Used in a sentence

  • I except the mumps, or parotitis, described below; which is properly an external gland, as its excretory duct opens into the air.
