Origin and Evolution of malarial fever

First Known Use: 1740 year

Language of Origin: Latin

Story behind the word: The word 'malarial fever' originates from the Latin word 'malaria' which means 'bad air' or 'swampy air'. It was believed that the disease was caused by the foul air found in marshy areas.

Evolution of the word: Over time, the understanding of malaria shifted from being associated with bad air to being caused by the bite of infected mosquitoes. The term 'malarial fever' came to specifically refer to the fever caused by the malaria parasite transmitted through mosquito bites.
