As Marion says, the answer is easy.
However, it must be said that a detailed knowledge of several foreign languages; ancient word construction; words borrowed from other languages, (and not yet paid back); sound shifts; folk-lore throughout the centuries; fairy tales involving beautiful maidens and ugly, old, evil men; ancient herbal remedies which use dangerous, old-fashioned poisons; together with arcane similes and metaphors; and all this combined with a forensic mind capable of differentiating between out-of-date, established, scientific prejudice; versus modern, fact-filled, statistical opinion, corroborated by unending, mind-numbing, boring Case-Studies, complete with verbatim dialogue in incomprehensible utterances, (which purport to be in English), are what is required to answer this question.
(An ability to write sentences exceeding 100 words in length is also a great advantage.)
Here is my submission.
Flocci = Flocks (plural, from the Italian)
Nauci = Knock (from Old Sanscrit)
Nihil = Nothing in particular (Latin)
I = me, I (Obvious, so I will give No Explanation).
Pile - Hemorrhoids (contracted, from the Greek),
Ification = Caused by (Very Late Latin. Indeed, was almost marked �Absent �)
Here, we have a reminder of sad times past, when the unknown "I" in the story, the unfortunate individual, is informing us that "I", was told, not once, but by flocks of people knocking on the door, that "I" am suffering from the dread disease "PILES", but that it is nothing to worry about.
How it was caused is left unsaid --- too dreadful to put into words!
I am reminded of the lines from a heart-rending Eskimo poem, (taken from a Gregorian chant, and used by Johann Strauss in "Voices of Spring").
Because migrating storks perched directly in front of their bedroom window, the Strauss family could plainly see that birds on the rooftops do not contract hemmorrhoids.
The poem appears to advise us to keep warm in winter, which, perhaps, gives us a clue:
"Think of the Birdies on the Tiles;
They do not Suffer from the Piles".
