Catalan to English

'desfeta' in Catalan is an inflammation of the eye known in English as 'keratitis'. But I need to know the folk term for this disease. I have fruitlessly seached the net but have come up dry.

Note from asker:
The Alcover-Moll dictionary says: 5. Queratitis, inflamació de la còrnia de l'ull (or., occ., val., mall., eiv.). Si lo falcó o lo oçell té blancor o desfeta o tel en l'ull, Anim. de caçar 48 vo. Coses que caen en l'uyl... que són occasions per què's fan les desfeytes e la blancura en l'uyl, Alcoatí 35. Hi ha gent que diu desfeta, en singular, i altres diuen desfetes, en plural. |
Peer comment(s):

Maria Rosich Andreu
: I have never heard of 'desfeta' as anything but a "defeat"... but I agree with the popular term for keratitis
