Origin
The term "aneurism" was first used by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates in the 5th century BCE. Hippocrates described aneurysms as "a pulsating tumor in the groin." The term was later adopted by the Roman physician Galen in the 2nd century CE. Galen described aneurysms as "a dilatation of an artery."
The term "aneurism" has been used in English since the 16th century. The term is still used today to refer to any abnormal widening of an artery.
