What is the meaning of patients in greek?
The word "patient" in English comes from the Latin word "patiens," meaning "suffering" or "enduring." While there isn't a single Greek word that directly translates to the English "patient" in its medical sense (a person under medical care), the root of the meaning comes from the Greek word πάσχω (páschō), which means "to suffer" or "to experience." This is the same root that contributes to words like "pathology" (the study of suffering/disease).
