vertigon.

Brit.

/ˈvəːtᵻɡəʊ/, U.S.

/ˈvərdəɡoʊ/

Forms: Also 1600s vertego, virteego, virtigo.

Etymology: Latin vertīgo a turning or whirling round, giddiness, etc., < vertĕre to turn. Compare French vertigo, Spanish vertigo; also French vertige, Portuguese vertigem, Italian vertigine. The various modes of pronouncing this word form the subject of an elaborate note by Walker (1797), arguing in favour of that with the stress on the first syllable. The fashionable pronunciation, however, appears to have been /vəˈtiːɡəʊ/, and this alone is given by Smart (1836–40) as really current, in spite of its divergence from English analogy.

1. Pathology. A disordered condition in which the person affected has a sensation of whirling, either of external objects or of himself, and tends to lose equilibrium and consciousness; swimming in the head; giddiness, dizziness:

a. Without article.Sometimes applied to the staggers in horses or the sturdy in sheep, and in quot. 1619 to a disease of hawks.
