anthraxn.

Brit.

/ˈanθraks/, U.S.

/ˈænˌθræks/

Inflections: Plural anthraces.

Forms:

α. Middle English–1500s antrax, 1500s– anthrax, 1900s– anthrash (U.S. regional (Louisiana)).

β. Middle English antracas (plural), Middle English antrace.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Partly also a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin anthrax; French antrace, antrax.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin anthrax carbuncle, pustule (from 5th cent. in medical writers; frequently from 10th cent. in British sources) < ancient Greek ἄνθραξ charcoal, dark red precious stone, carbuncle, pustule, in Hellenistic Greek also coal, of uncertain origin. Compare Anglo-Norman and Middle French antrax , Middle French, French anthrax (c1240), Old Occitan antrac , andrac (c1300), Catalan àntrax (1490), Spanish ántrax (end of the 15th cent.; c1420 in sense ‘dark red precious stone’), Portuguese antraz (1562; 1536 as †entras ), Italian antrace (13th or 14th cent.), all in sense ‘carbuncle, pustule‘. In β. forms partly via Anglo-Norman antrace (13th cent. or earlier; compare Middle French andrac , endrac , entrac (all 15th cent.), antrac (1531)), variant of antrax, and partly after post-classical Latin anthrac-, oblique stem of anthrax . In sense 2 after French anthrax (1782 or earlier in this sense); compare French charbon (1782 or earlier in the veterinary sense, 1568 in Middle French in sense ‘carbuncle, pustule‘), lit. ‘coal’, extended use of charbon coal (see charbon n.).Ancient Greek ἄνθραξ denoted burning charcoal, hence the use of the word for things red in colour (e.g. precious stone, carbuncle) as well as for things black in colour (e.g. coal).

1. Originally: an inflamed or purulent lesion of the skin, esp. a boil or carbuncle. In later use often: spec. a skin lesion caused by infection with Bacillus anthracis, typically consisting of a vesicle filled with dark fluid and having a black base ; = malignant pustule n. at malignant adj. and n. Compounds. Now rare.

2. Originally: an acute, usually fatal disease of livestock characterized by high fever, laboured breathing, staggering or convulsions, and collapse, with oozing of bloody fluid from the body orifices and enlargement of the spleen (now recognized to be caused by infection with the bacterium Bacillus anthracis). In later use also: infection of other mammals, including humans, with Bacillus anthracis.In humans, anthrax is primarily an occupational disease, affecting people working with farm animals or their products, esp. wool, hides, and bone meal. The initial site of infection is usually the skin (cutaneous anthrax) or the lungs (pulmonary anthrax); in either case the disease often spreads to the bloodstream, resulting in septicaemia.
