Origin and Evolution of physician

First Known Use: 1250 year
Language of Origin: Latin
Story behind the word: The word 'physician' originated from the Latin word 'physicus' which means 'a natural science student or a healer'.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'physician' has evolved to specifically refer to a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats illnesses, moving away from its broader meaning of a natural science student or healer.
