diphtheritis Path.|dɪfθəˈraɪtɪs|
Also ‖ (Fr.) diphtherite.
[mod. f. Gr. διϕθέρα or διϕθερίς skin, hide, piece of leather + -itis; the disease being so named on account of the tough membrane developed upon the parts affected.
First used in 1821 in the French form diphthérite by Bretonneau of Tours in a paper before the French Academy, published 1826; the word was taken into English and German medical literature, usually as diphtheritis, though the Fr. form was occasional in the scanty English notices of the disease before 1857. In 1855, Bretonneau in a new memoir substituted the name diphthérie, probably because terms in -ite, -itis, are properly formed on names of the part affected, as in bronchitis, laryngitis; in Eng. this was adapted as diphtheria, when ‘Boulogne sore-throat’ became epidemic here in 1857–58; but the adj. diphtheritic was generally retained in preference to diphtheric used by some.
