Bursitis is not attributed to a single discoverer, as it is a medical condition that has been recognized for centuries. The term "bursa" comes from the Latin word for "purse," describing the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. Medical understanding of bursitis has evolved over time, with descriptions of the condition found in ancient texts. Today, it is recognized and treated by healthcare professionals based on the accumulated knowledge of its causes and symptoms.
