Etymology of CIRRHOSIS GANGLION
"Cirrhosis" and "ganglion" are two distinct medical terms with different etymologies.
1. Cirrhosis:
The term "cirrhosis" comes from the Greek word "kirrhos", meaning "yellowish-orange" or "tawny". In ancient Greek medicine, the term was used to describe the yellow appearance of certain diseased organs, particularly the liver. Over time, it came to specifically refer to a chronic liver condition characterized by the replacement of healthy liver tissue with scar tissue. The term "cirrhosis" emerged in English medical terminology in the early 19th century.
2. Ganglion:
The term "ganglion" is derived from the Greek word "ganglion", which means "knot" or "swelling". In medical usage, it refers to a mass or a group of nerve cells located outside the central nervous system.
