Etymology
The word 'diseases' originated from the Old French word 'desaise', meaning 'lack of ease'. It was first used in the 14th century to describe a condition that causes discomfort or lack of well-being. Over the centuries, the term evolved to encompass a broader range of disorders affecting living organisms, including humans, animals, and plants.
