zymotic disease
An obsolete term for any epidemic, endemic, contagious, or sporadic affection which is produced by some morbific principle or organism acting on the system like a ferment. It is not used in the working medical parlance, as no one enzyme (“ferment”) is capable of evoking the Gotterdammerung contained within the definition.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc.
