Etymology

The word 'undiagnosed' is a combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the verb 'diagnose', which comes from the Greek word 'diagnōsis' meaning 'discernment' or 'distinguishing'. The term emerged in the medical field to describe a condition that has not been identified or labeled with a specific diagnosis.
