Any disease or pathological condition affecting the hip joint.
From Latin 'coxa' (hip), Greek 'arthron' (joint), and 'pathos' (disease/suffering), a general medical term for any hip joint disease regardless of cause.
The suffix '-pathy' means disease or condition—'arthropathy' is the general term for any joint disease, but adding 'cox-' makes it specific to the hip, showing how medical language builds precision through prefixes and suffixes.
