Usage: The term "hudrópikos" refers to a person suffering from dropsy, a condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fluid in the body's tissues, leading to swelling.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, dropsy was a well-known medical condition, often associated with other underlying health issues such as heart or kidney problems.

Healing such a condition was seen as a significant miracle, demonstrating divine power and compassion.
