Word origin

The term 'miscarried' has its roots in the Old French word 'mescarier', meaning 'to misfortunes or fail'. It is derived from 'mis-', a prefix indicating wrongness or failure, and โ€˜carryโ€™, which in this context relates to the physiological act of carrying a fetus during pregnancy. The earliest usage of the term in English dates back to the 15th century, where it began to take on connotations specifically relating to pregnancy loss. Over centuries, the understanding of miscarriage has evolved, with advancements in medical science shedding light on the various causes. The emotional and psychological aspects of facing a miscarriage have also gained recognition, influencing how society reacts to and supports individuals who experience this profound loss. The conversation surrounding miscarriage remains significant as it opens discussions on women's health, fertility, and the need for compassionate care during such times.
