EN: male leper
The male version of 'leprosa'. A term for a man with leprosy, usually heard in historical contexts or when reading Noli Me Tángere. Like its female counterpart, it’s a word loaded with historical baggage and stigma.
From Spanish 'leproso'.
A dated and potentially offensive term. Modern medical terms are preferred.
