Aphemia

I love medical words. I can't pronounce many of them, but I still love them. Like aphemia. It's a form of mutism seen in catatonic patients. But if you separate it into its parts, (aph)asic and -emia, you get:

Lack of language within your blood.

or

Loss of words from your vasculature.

Really, just poetic.
