The spelling of the word "anconitis" may seem complicated at first glance, but it is based on the rules of English phonetics. The correct pronunciation of this word is /æŋkəʊnaɪtɪs/, with the stress on the second syllable. The "anco" prefix is derived from the Greek word "ankhónē", meaning "elbow", and the "itis" suffix refers to inflammation or swelling. Therefore, "anconitis" is a medical term used to describe inflammation of the elbow joint, a common condition among athletes and manual laborers.
Inflammation of the elbow-joint, olecranarthritis, olecranarthrocace, olecranarthropathy.
