Onychomadesis means complete shedding of the fingernails or toenails. This condition is usually associated with a number of diseases that affect most of the body. Onychomadesis comes from the Greek word "onyx" meaning "nail," and the Greek word "madesis" meaning "a growing bald." Put the words together and you have "a growing bald (of) nails."
