Question: What are you seeking if you suffer from lethologica?
Answer: You’re struggling to find a word that’s right on the tip of your tongue. That’s a phenomenon most of us are familiar with, particularly as we get older. Lethologica is “the inability to retrieve a specific word as a response to a visual, auditory, or tactile presentation.” We know the word we want, it’s right there, in our head—but we can’t quite retrieve it.
