CLIMACTERIC, CLIMACTERIC, CLIMACTERICAL.
By Daniel Lyons
-
A word, which properly signifies 'by degrees.' It has been applied to certain times of life, regarded to be critical. At present, the word Climacteric is chiefly applied to certain periods of life, at which great changes occur, independently of any numerical estimate of years. Such are the period of puberty in both sexes; that of the cessation of the menses in women, &c.
