The disease has existed throughout human experience and had for millennia before scientific medicine renamed it with a New Latin term in the mid-19th century (1840s); in English it was called  because of the wasting away that consumed health and seemed even to consume flesh in some cases (for example, causing fistulas and tissue breakdown).

Noun
