The Journal : Current Issue: "Historical keywords: Pathology"
Pathology comes from the Greek pathos, suffering or distressed state. Galen used the term for a disturbance of vital processes. The changing use of the term pathology indicates changing ideas about the study of disease. Most doctors would have conceived of pathology as morbid anatomy until the end of the 19th century when laboratory studies gave it a dynamic aspect.
