Etymology

The word 'arrhythmical' is derived from the Greek word 'arrhythmia,' where 'a-' means 'without' and 'rhythmos' means 'rhythm.' It entered the English language in the late 19th century as medical knowledge advanced, particularly in cardiology. The prefix 'a-' is used generally in English to denote a lack or absence of something. Thus, 'arrhythmical' denotes conditions lacking regular rhythm, primarily concerning the heart’s functions. Over the years, medical terminology has expanded, and the understanding of arrhythmias has become more nuanced, encompassing various disturbances in heart rhythm. This has led to better diagnostics and treatment options.
