Hypothermia is a serious medical condition: the body has got too cold, and it cannot keep its core warm enough to work safely. It can come from icy water, wet clothes in the wind, a night on a mountain, or sitting still too long in the cold.

Though actually, everyday talk also uses it for “I got really cold,” which is looser than the medical line; true hypothermia is not just feeling chilly. The name is “under-heat,” the opposite of having too much heat.
