03 · The mix-up

Where the confusion comes from

The mix-up“Lethologica is a recognised psychological or medical term.”
What's true

It isn't. The genuine clinical terms are anomia and dysnomia. Lethologica has no Dictionary.com entry at all — searching redirects elsewhere — and Wordnik surfaces only Wiktionary as a source, with no Century or American Heritage entry.
