Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
CACOCHYMYnoun
A depravation of the humours from a sound state, to what the physicians call by a general name of a cacochymy. Spots, and discolourations of the skin, are signs of weak fibres; for the lateral vessels, which lie out of the road of circulation, let gross humours pass, which could not, if the vessels had their due degree of stricture. John Arbuthnot on Aliments.
Etymology: ϰαϰόχυμία.
Strong beer, a liquour that attributes the better half of its ill qualities to the hops, consisting of an acrimonious firy nature, sets the blood, upon the least cacochymy, into an orgasmus, by an ill ferment. Gideon Harvey, on Consumptions.
Wikipedia
Cacochymy
In the pre-modern medical practice of humorism, cacochymy, or cacochymia, referred to a depraved habit of body, replete with ill humors, from various causes. When the repletion was merely with blood, it was called plethora. Joannis Gorraeus gave the name cacochymia to the abundance and excess of any ill humor, provided it is only one in excess; plethora he called the abundance or excess of all the humors together.
