Forms: see chicken n. and pox n. Also with hyphen and as two words.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: chicken n., pox n.

Etymology: < chicken n. + pox n. Compare earlier swinepox n. and also hen-pox (see quot. 1676 at swinepox n. 1).Perhaps so called on account of the comparative mildness of the disease. For other explanations compare:1730 T. Fuller Exanthematologia 161 I have adventur'd to think this is that which among our Women goeth by the Name of Chicken-Pox, and might be so called from the Smallness of the Specks, which they might fancy looked as tho' a Child had been picked with the Bills of Chickens. But it is said, that Poultry and Turkeys are subject to a disease coming out with red Pimples, tho' not many, that soon dry up into Scabs, but are not apt to leave Scars or Marks.1800 Med. & Physical Jrnl. 3 440 Is there not the strongest probability that the swine and the chicken pox derived their origin, at some distant period, from the animals whose names they take?a1883 C. H. Fagge Princ. & Pract. Med. (1886) I. 234 In all probability the allusion in that name [sc. chicken-pox] is to chickpease (French chiche, Latin cicer).Compare also quots. 1696, a1763 at sense 1.

1. The superficial vesicles forming the rash of the disease chickenpox (see sense 2). Cf. chicken pock n. Now rare.

Also (as a count noun): a case, outbreak, or instance of this disease.Chickenpox is caused by a herpesvirus (varicella-zoster virus), which may become latent in nerve cells after the acute infection and later be reactivated to cause shingles.
