Etymology:
Meaning:
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung tissue, typically caused by infection.
Origin:
The term "pneumonia" was first used in the 5th century BC by the Greek physician Hippocrates. Hippocrates described pneumonia as a "disease of the lungs characterized by fever, cough, and difficulty breathing." He believed that pneumonia was caused by an imbalance of the four humors (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).
The term "pneumonia" was first used in English in the 16th century. The word was borrowed from the Latin "pneumonia," which was in turn derived from the Greek.
