  • i managed to find stuff on google.
    how very weird. but yes, i found a lot more with two words.

    amoebiasis, as vikram will be happy to know, we can work out what it means for the latin/greek roots!!! yay!!!!!

    any '-sis' ending indicates a condition caused by the preceeding part of the word.

    hence, a condition caused by an amoeba, generally referring entamoeba histolytica. perhaps gastro!
