Etymology

The word 'palsy' originates from the Middle English term 'palsie' or 'palsy', which itself derives from the Old French 'palsie', meaning 'paralysis' or 'numbness'. The French term traced back to the Latin 'palsy', which means 'to be weak or feeble'. The word's earliest usage referred to a condition characterized by loss of muscle control and sensation in parts of the body. Over time, the definition has evolved to encompass various forms of paralysis, whether temporary or permanent, affecting different regions of the body. The roots of the term can be linked to different neurological conditions that have been documented throughout history, reflecting the longstanding impact of such ailments on human health and society.
