Dear Wayne,

How about 'syndrome'?

| Dear Wayne,
|
| I do not know did you ever received a reply to your old email.
| Recently working with OED I found there the following terms:
| symptom-complex, symptom-group and set of symptoms.
|
| I hope this helps.
|
| Best wishes,

|
| My wife and I are having a senior moment (which has lasted for a day or
| longer!). We are trying to remember a certain English word which refers
| to
| the way that a list of medical symptoms groups together so that a
| specific
| diagnosis is quite likely. We have checked thesauri and our own mental
| databanks and come up with the following synonyms, but we are still
| missing
| the word itself. Perhaps one or more of you can come up with the word we
| sense that we are missing.
|
| Synonyms:
|
| complex, coalesce, conspire, congregate, confluence, conflux, group,
| union,
| set, junction, syndrome, complex
|
| The missing word should fit in the following sentence:
|
| "The ______ of symptoms leads us to believe that one diagnosis is most
| likely out of the several possible diagnoses."
|
| The word "complex" seems most likely right now, but I'm not getting that
| "Euraka!" feeling about it that I usually get when having one of these
| vocabulary senior moments and then the word pops into mind.
|
| Thank you,
| Wayne
