tendonitis
noun
Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon, which is like a set of cords that attaches muscles to bones. In some cases, when you do a lot of exercise, you may get tendonitis in a tendon in your body that you use more than another tendon. If you have tendonitis, an orthopaedic surgeon and a physiotherapist can help you.
This word comes from the Old Latin tendon-, meaning “tendon”, and -itis, meaning “inflammation”.
