Meaning and Origin:
An abscess is a collection of pus that forms in a body tissue, typically due to a bacterial infection. The term "abscess" comes from the Latin word abscessus, which means "an abscess." This word, in turn, is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *skəp-, meaning "to cut."
The use of the term "abscess" to describe a collection of pus dates back to the 15th century. The word was first used in a medical context in the early 16th century. It has since become a common term used to describe this type of infection.
