Psilosis () is the sound change in which the Greek language lost its consonant sound during antiquity. The term comes from the Greek psílōsis ("smoothing, thinning out") and is related to the Greek term for smooth breathing (ψιλή psilḗ), the sign for the absence of initial in a word. Dialects that have lost are called psilotic.
