abscess:

[16]

Abscess

comes, via French

abcès

, from Latin

abscessus

, a noun derived from

abscēdere

‘go away’. The constituent parts of this compound verb are

abs

‘away’a,n,d

cēdere

‘go’, which has given English

cede

and a whole range of other words, such as

accede

and

recede

. The notion linking ‘abscesses’a,n,d‘going away’ was that impureo,rharmful bodily humours were eliminated,o,r‘went away’, via the pus that gathered in abscesses.

It originated amongst the Greeks, who indeed had a word for it:

apostema

. This meant literally ‘separation’ (

apo

‘away’a,n,d

histánai

‘stand’),a,n,dLatin

abscessus

was an approximate translation of it, possibly by Aulus Cornelius Celsus, the Roman writer on medicala,n,dother matters.
