This came in my "word a day" email today: A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg laryngopharyngeal PRONUNCIATION: (luh-ring-goh-fuh-RIN-jee-uhl, -juhl) MEANING: adjective: Of or relating to the larynx (the part of the throat holding the vocal cords) and pharynx (the part of the throat that leads from the mouth to the esophagus). ETYMOLOGY: From Latin larynx, from Greek larynx + Latin pharynx, from Greek pharynx (throat). Earliest documented use: 1872. NOTES: If you have heard this term, chances are it was in the context of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), a condition in which the contents of the stomach flow back to the throat. USAGE: "Under the heading of laryngopharyngeal disorders we discover that oboists and horn players can be prone to nasal speech, regurgitation of liquids and snorting while playing, all a result of the high pressures they must employ to hit their notes."
