ear·ache (îrk)
n.
Pain in the ear; otalgia.

earache
[ir′āk]
Etymology: AS, eare + acan, to hurt
a pain in the ear, sensed as sharp, dull, burning, intermittent, or constant. The cause is not necessarily a disease of the ear, because infections and other disorders of the nose, oral cavity, larynx, and temporomandibular joint can produce referred pain in the ear. Also called otalgia, otodynia.

earache [ēr´āk]
pain in the ear; called also otalgia and otodynia.
