Patoloogiliselt
Patoloogiliselt is an Estonian adverb that translates to "pathologically" in English. It is derived from the word "patoloogiline," which means "pathological." The term is used to describe something that is characterized by or resulting from a disease or disorder, often implying an excessive or abnormal condition. In a medical context, it may refer to behaviors, symptoms, or conditions that are not typical and may require medical intervention. For example, one might say "patoloogiliselt sööma" to describe someone who eats excessively and abnormally, which could be a sign of a disorder such as bulimia. The use of "patoloogiliselt" is crucial in medical and psychological discussions to accurately describe and diagnose conditions that deviate from normal behavior or function.
