Forms:

α. 1600s hypocondry, 1600s– hypochondry (now rare).

β. 1600s–1800s hypocondria, 1600s– hypochondria.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item; perhaps modelled on Latin lexical items. Etymons: English hypochondria , hypochondrium n.

Etymology: < hypochondria, hypocondria, plural of hypochondrium n., perhaps after the names of ailments in -ia -ia suffix¹ (compare e.g. anorexia n., insomnia n., pneumonia n.). Compare earlier hypochondriac n. 1. Compare also earlier hypochondre n. and hypochondrium n., denoting the soft parts of the abdomen. With the semantic development from a body part to a mental state compare spleen n. Compare French hypocondrie (1781 in this sense; earlier in anatomical use: see hypochondrium n.), Spanish hipocondría (c1642), Italian hipocondria (1658 as ipocondria in the passage translated in quot. 1700 at β. ); post-classical Latin hypochondria is attested in this sense by 1735. Compare the following slightly earlier example of hypochondry melancholy reflecting the post-classical Latin phrase hypocondria melancholia and variants (1566 or earlier), in which hypocondria shows an adjectival use:1647 W. Lilly Christian Astrology (To Rdr.) sig. a1 Hypocondry Melancholy, a disaffected Spleen.

Originally: †a form of melancholia characterized by the (supposed) generation of black bile and vapours in the hypochondria (see hypochondrium n. 1), as the sites of the liver and spleen (cf. earlier hypochondriac n. 1) (obsolete); (also) †a disorder characterized by low spirits and complaints of physical symptoms (real or imagined), esp. upper abdominal discomfort or dyspepsia (obsolete). In later use: (Medicine) a mental disorder, often considered to be a neurosis, characterized by the persistent and unwarranted belief or fear that one has a serious illness, typically accompanied by over-interpretation of physiological changes or minor symptoms as indications of such an illness and by some degree of depression or anxiety; (in general use) unwarranted and excessive concern or anxiety regarding one's health and body functions. Occasionally also figurative.Even during the several centuries when hypochondria was thought to be a physical disorder, there was often recognition that it affected the mind and emotions. Its classification as a mental illness was not fully accepted until the 20th cent.
