Hypophyseoprivic is a medical term that describes the loss of function of the pituitary gland. The word is pronounced /haɪpəˌfɪzɪoʊˈprɪvɪk/ and is spelled using phonetic elements from both Greek and Latin. The prefix "hypo" means below, while "physis" refers to growth or nature, and "priva" denotes deprivation. The term is commonly used to describe a condition where the pituitary gland is removed or damaged, resulting in a deficiency of hormones that regulate many bodily functions.
