axonotmesis
C2CEFR level
99/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
A nerve injury in which the axons are disrupted but the surrounding connective sheath remains intact.
Electromyography suggested axonotmesis, so the team opted for observation while regeneration was awaited.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
