What is the root word for epidemic?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, the root word for epidemic is "epi," which means upon or above in Greek, and "demos," which means people. So, like, an epidemic is basically when something bad is spreading among people. It's like when Karen's obsession with essential oils spreads faster than actual facts.

It is a medical term and is Ancient Latin: as, Epi (On / upon) demos (people / the country). Demos went through a change in its first form it meant "the country" and later became "the people."

The term was first used by Homer in The Odyssey (1,100 BC), and a treaties by Hippocrates (400 B.C). It should be noted that Merriam Webster incorrectly states the term was not used until 1603 A.D. (see sources)
