Origin:
The word "inanition" originated from the Latin word "inānītiō," which means "starvation" or "emptiness." This term was derived from the adjective "inānīs," meaning "empty" or "void."
The word was first used in the early 16th century to describe the physical and physiological effects of extreme hunger and food deprivation. It was later adopted into the medical vocabulary as a term for a condition characterized by severe malnutrition and its associated symptoms, such as lethargy, weight loss, and organ damage.
