Whomever named this was extremely cruel because those who have it can’t pronounce it.

      This word is actually not named maliciously at all. From Greek:

      “Dys,” meaning “bad,” or “abnormal,” like in Dysfunctional

      “Lexia” from “Lexis,” meaning “reading.” Think of “lexicon.”

      So now you have a perfectly normal word in Greek that came to the modern age and now is ironic because it’s not exactly native
