Pallorous

Answer 3

I am not an etymologist, but "pallorous" (the state or condition of being extremely pale or having pallor) is an acceptable word, even though it does not appear in most dictionaries. It isn t substandard so much as medical. Most editors prefer the word "pallid" instead, particularly outside of medical circles. However, the connotations of each are slightly different and, depending on the context, I ve used both in non-medical writing and consider them synonyms. Many other medical terms have migrated into popular parlance, and I see no reason to disparage the use of "pallorous" in popular use while accepting "scrofulous or "bulemic", to choose two common examples.

Answer 4

pallor is being really pale... it didn't find pallorous as a word....
