Translation:

Euexa is Greek for Latin bona habitudo {"a good state of health; the state of humoral equilibrium"} of which the opposite is kachexia {"wasting"}.


Commentary:

εὐεξία /euexía/ means "good health; vigour; ability" < ἐυ /eu/ "well, good" + ἑξία /hexía/ < ἔξις /héxis/ "habit or state".

For καχεξία /kakhexía/ see Kachexia.
