Origin and Evolution of hemorrhage

First Known Use: 1250 year
Language of Origin: Greek
Story behind the word: The word 'hemorrhage' originated from the Greek word 'haimorrhagia', which is a combination of 'haima' meaning blood and 'rhagein' meaning to burst forth.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'hemorrhage' has retained its original meaning of excessive bleeding, but it has also come to be used more broadly to describe any large loss or rapid decline, such as in finances or support.
