Etymology of BRADYLEXIA

The term "bradylexia" is a combination of two Greek roots: "brady-" and "-lexia".

The Greek root "brady-" (\( \beta\rho\alpha\delta\upsilon\)) means "slow" or "delayed". It is derived from the Greek word "bradys" (\( \beta\rho\alpha\delta\upsilon\sigma\)), which has the same meaning.

The second part of the word, "-lexia", comes from the Greek word "lexis" (\( \lambda\epsilon\xi\iota\sigma\)), meaning "word" or "speech". It is derived from the Greek verb "lego" (\( \lambda\epsilon\gamma\omega\)), meaning "to speak" or "to say".

Plural form of BRADYLEXIA is BRADYLEXIAS
