Brit.

/ˌad dᵻˈlɪkwɪəm/, U.S.

/ˌæd dəˈlɪkwiəm/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin ad deliquium.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin ad deliquium to unconsciousness (1537 or earlier) < classical Latin ad (see ad- prefix) + dēliquium deliquium n.², in post-classical Latin sense ‘fainting’ (a1536).Post-classical Latin deliquium fainting, is short for deliquium animi, literally ‘failing of the mind’, after ancient Greek λιποθυμία, λιποψυχία, in the same sense (both in Hippocrates).

Now historical.

With reference to a bloodletting procedure: to the point at which the patient feels faint or faints (from loss of blood).In quot. 1882 as part of an extended metaphor.
