definition: Pica is the recurrent craving or consumption of nonnutritive items. The name was reportedly introduced in the 6th century by Aetius of Amida, a Byzantine physician, in reference to the magpie—pica pica—known for its propensity to gather all sorts of objects, albeit to build its nest not to consume as food.
