[viscid a. + -osis], a congenital metabolic disorder, usually causing early death, in which exocrine glands (such as the pancreas) secrete very viscid mucus, which accumulates and blocks the passageways of the body; also called cystic fibrosis (of the pancreas), fibrocystic disease (of the pancreas).1835–6Todd's Cycl.
