What was the old meaning of the word 'anorexia'?

I suppose you mean the literal meaning of anorexia? Today's culture defines anorexia as a disease in which someone deliberately starves themselves. The actual meaning of anorexia though is "without appetite." When attempting to form a diagnosis, a doctor might describe a patient as suffering from anorexia but that only means that they have no appetite. They aren't trying to deliberately starve to achieve a thinner body.
