It has been popularly thought that the name came from the late-stage sign of the disease, in which the victim's skin would blacken due to sub-epidermal hemorrhages, and the extremities would turn dark with gangrene. However, the term is actually thought to have more likely referred to "black" in the sense of hopelessness and sorrow. === ===
