Definition of the word <b>fever</b>

Origin of the word fever

The word "fever" has its roots in Latin. The Latin term "febris" referred to heat, warmth, or inflammation. This Latin word is derived from the verb "ferre," which means "to bear" or "to carry," and is also related to the word "ferrox," meaning "fire" or "heat". In Latin, "febris" was used to describe a condition characterized by a sense of heat or burning in the body. The Latin term was later adopted into Middle English as "fever", which retained its original meaning of a condition accompanied by a sense of heat or inflammation.
