neuropraxia

Meaning

Noun

• Alternative of neurapraxia.

Origin

• Mistaken reanalysis of neurapraxia (neur- + apraxia) as if it were neuro- + *praxia; this is etymologically nonsensical because the a- in apraxia represents the negate prefix (in the New Latin original) to mean the opposite of what the unrealized form *praxia would mean.
