pleurisyn. Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French pleuresie; Latin pleurisis. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French pleuresie (c1240 in Anglo-Norman; also as pleuresin (14th cent. in an isolated attestation) and pleurisie (second half of the 13th cent. in Old French (Normandy)); French pleurésie ) and its etymon post-classical Latin pleurisis (c400), pleuresis (11th cent.), variant of classical Latin pleurītis pleuritis n.Forms in plur- are apparently after classical Latin plūr- , plūs more (see plus prep., n., adv., and adj.), arising from a mistaken view that the medical condition was due to an excess of humours (compare sense 2); e.g.:1583 R. Greene Mamillia i. f. 9v The patient, which by ouer much blood falleth into the Plurisie.
