sea-sickness

Sailor's queasy stomach

Sea-sickness is nausea and dizziness caused by the motion of a boat or ship.

The rocking disrupts the inner ear's sense of balance, producing symptoms that range from mild queasiness to severe vomiting.

She spent the crossing below deck, green with sea-sickness.

The condition typically subsides once on stable ground.
