- 1失溫；低體溫症（台灣口語常說失溫）
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. People may , grow , speak unclearly, or feel strangely sleepy — and that sleepiness is dangerous, not rest. Hospitals treat it as an emergency. 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.
組成From New Latin, from Ancient Greek ὑπο- (hupo-, “under”) + θέρμη (thérmē, “heat”) + -ία (-ía). By the pieces you can still see: hypo- + therm- + -ia.
