/ˈsɛpsəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin sepsis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin sepsis (1644 or earlier) < ancient Greek σῆψις putrefaction, decay < σήπειν to rot (see septic adj.¹) + -σις -sis suffix. Compare earlier septic adj.¹

†1. A type of digestion said to occur in the stomach (perhaps involving supposed decomposition or putrefaction of food). Obsolete. rare.

1651 N. Biggs Matæotechnia Medicinæ Praxeωs 208 We might here not impertinently ampliate what we hinted before in our Tractick of simple waters, of the digestion, or chilifactive transmutation of the stomack, whether it be pepsis or sepsis, digestion by heat or other quality.

2. Originally: the process of putrefaction, esp. when (supposedly) occurring in the body of a person or animal (now historical). In later use: infection with bacteria or other pathogens, esp. when blood-borne or disseminated; spec. a life-threatening complication occurring in infections, resulting from imperfectly regulated immune responses and characterized by dysfunction of the cardiovascular and various other organ systems.
