Etymology
The term 'hemorrhage' originates from the Greek word 'haimorrhagia', where 'haima' means blood and 'rrhagia' means to break forth or burst. The word made its way into Middle French as 'hémorragie' before being adopted into English in the late 14th century. It was originally used to denote any significant loss of blood, but over time, it has come to be more specifically associated with rapid or profuse bleeding in medical contexts. The formal usage in medical terminology became more prominent with advancements in surgical practices and understanding of blood loss dynamics in the 19th century.
