OP Most males become sadly familiar with this term. But take a look at the etymology!
alopecia [ˌ©¡lə'pi¢°ʃ©¥ə]
noun loss of hair, esp. on the head; baldness
[ETYMOLOGY: 14th Century: from Latin, from Greek alopekia, originally: mange in foxes, from alopex fox]
Do you know any other words that use this root?
