I thought the quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog 🤔 maybe that’s why he needs a nap.

Anhedonia is a term coined in 1896 by psychologist Théodule-Armand Ribot to describe the reduced ability to experience pleasure.

It comes from the Greek word hēdonē meaning “pleasure” with the prefix an for “without”.

So any similarity in pronunciation appears to be coincidental.
