Word origin

The word 'nebulize' comes from the Latin word 'nebula', meaning 'mist' or 'cloud'. The process of nebulization has been used in medical treatments for many years, particularly for respiratory conditions. By converting liquid medication into a fine mist, it can be easily inhaled and absorbed by the lungs for effective treatment.
