Selected
typo
It is a typo for "facies algica", in Latin.
"Facies" indicates the expression of the face, in this case a face expressing pain.
I do not know if an English equivalent exists.

cold/clammy/pale appearance
Facies is latin for an outward appearance. algica refers to being cold or clammy( perhaps pale)
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Muriel Vasconcellos
: It is also Spanish & English. See my note to asker. I couldn't find algica even in Latin, but it sure "feels" cold and clammy! Facies refers to the face or countenance in particular.

According to the Medical Dictionary of Arnoldo Harrignton: álgido --> algid
I noticed I originally read incorrectly as "álgida" when it is "álgica"
So far I have been unable to find an equivalent for "álgica" However, it means "in pain" or "showing pain"

Rachel, I guess you can use "face in pain" or "painful face"

Karina Pelech
: mmm... Algid means cold and "álgica" comes from the Greek 'algos' (pain), is that the way it's used in the US?

Thanks for your observation.

Roberto
: facies does not necessarily refer to the face. and algid does mean cold

Roberto, you are right about algid (see my note above). However, facies does refer to the face (perhaps you are confusing it with "fascia")
