Origin and Evolution of malarial

First Known Use: 1829 year
Language of Origin: Latin
Story behind the word: The word 'malarial' originated from the Latin word 'malaria' which means 'bad air' or 'swampy air'. It was believed that diseases like malaria were caused by inhaling the foul air from marshes and swamps.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the understanding of malaria shifted from being associated with bad air to being caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. The word 'malarial' came to specifically refer to diseases caused by the Plasmodium parasite and its variants.
