A medical condition characterized by an abnormal or pathological thirst, or by craving and consuming excessive amounts of liquid.
From Greek 'dipsa' (thirst) plus '-pathy' (disease or condition), a direct medical term formation. Appears in 19th-century medical literature as an alternative or more specific term than dipsomania.
While 'dipsomania' focuses on the craving for alcohol specifically, 'dipsopathy' refers to pathological thirst generally—it's a broader term that could describe diabetes-related excessive drinking or other medical conditions causing unquenchable thirst.
