Word of the Day - Chalazion

chalazion

noun
Chronic inflammation of the meibomian glands leads to meibomian cysts or chalazions. The word "chalazion" is Greek for small pimple (and little hail). Like a pimple, a chalazion is an inflamed swelling. But instead of being on the skin, a chalazion is in the margin of the eyelid.

Mark loved Cherisse. Still, it put him off that she developed a chalazion right after he proposed. She was fortunately able to get it successfully treated before the wedding.
