Historical Origin:
The term "gout" was first used in the 13th century to describe a painful swelling of the big toe. It was originally believed to be caused by uric acid crystals accumulating in the joint. In the 18th century, gout became associated with high consumption of red meat, alcohol, and lead-contaminated wine.
The etymology of "gout" reflects its association with "drops" or "discharges." The Indo-European root gheu- also appears in the word "gush," meaning "to flow out," and "gutter," meaning "a channel for draining water."
