means Swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues.
from From Greek 'oidēma' (swelling), rooted in the verb 'oidein,' meaning to swell. It entered medical Latin and then English largely unchanged, doing the same job it's done for over two thousand years: naming puffiness without romance.
