Etymology of TYPHODES

The word "typhoid" comes from the Greek word "typhoeus", which refers to a whirlwind or storm. This Greek term is derived from the name of the mythological creature Typhon, a monstrous storm giant in Greek mythology. The word "typhoid" was later coined to describe a condition characterized by symptoms similar to Typhon's chaotic nature, such as fever, delirium, and confusion.
