Word origin
The word 'diseased' originated from the Middle English 'disesed' meaning 'troubled, distressed', which itself came from the Old French 'diseas' ('dis' - opposite of, 'aise' - ease). Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to both physical and moral afflictions, reflecting the widespread understanding of disease as a state of disturbance or dis-ease. The term has been in use for centuries to describe various forms of illness, corruption, or decay.
