Have heard them say "listhesis" for years. Think it is short for spondylolisthesis, slipping etc. See below.

spondylolisthesis

sponcdi-lb-lis-thTcsis

Forward movement of the body of one of the lower lumbar vertebrae on the vertebra below it, or upon the sacrum. Syn: spondyloptosis.

Origin

[spondylo- + G. olisthTsis, a slipping and falling]
