n. Synonyms Illness, Sickness, Ailment, complaint, disorder. Sick and sickness have been considered until within the present century essentially synonymous with ill and illness.

An ailment is generally of small account, comparatively, and local: as, his ailment was only a headache. None of these words represent ordinarily so serious an attack as disease, but illness and sickness may do so. See disease and debility.
