nausea
[U] Uncountable
pl: nullpast: nullpp: nulling: nullcomp: nullsup: null
This term describes a visceral, physical sensation of instability and stomach distress. It is frequently used in medical contexts to describe a symptom, but it also carries a strong sensory weight, evoking a feeling of dizziness or churning in the gut. In a figurative sense, it describes a profound feeling of disgust or moral revulsion. When someone feels nausea toward a political system or a person's behavior, it suggests that the offense is so deep it manifests as a physical sickness.
Used to describe the general state of feeling sick, such as saying "I have nausea" rather than "I have a nausea."
