Confusing words
Does the word "affection" have different meanings?
I know this word describes, for example, a feeling of liking someone or something.
Can I also use "affection" to talk about sickness, disease or illness? Do all these words have the same meaning?
<em>Affection </em>can sometimes refer to psychological disease, but that usage is rare and mostly archaic. You are probably thinking of <em>affliction.</em>
