I bashed the top of my foot (on a steel bar left lying six inches off the ground by my father-in-law after my step-mother-in-law broke a toe on the same bar just weeks ago, but that’s off the topic) yesterday and have an impressive puncture wound as a result. I want to tell people that I have “early onset stigmata” because that’s what it looks like, but need a word to explain why it’s only on the one foot and not on both feet and hands…
Something to do with leap years perhaps?
Preferably in Latin or Greek…
The steel bar was lying between two piles of something and supporting one end of a trailer. Unfortunately it was several inches longer than necessary and sticking out into the walking space.
I have to argue with “early-onset” here. That would imply more that everybody who gets stigmata gets them around age sixty, and here you are only mumbles years old and you’ve got one.
What you want is more along the lines of “early stage stigmata apparition with unipedal involvement.” Or perhaps “Prelusive stigmatal involvement between the 2nd and 3rd pedal phalanges with incomplete medial penetration.”
You could use levo or dextro as prefix to determine side then pedal as suggested above.
also consider ostomy to refer to the connection between the plantar and dorsal aspects of foot>
