Definition
A burn or burning sensation; a medical term for a condition caused by heat or burning.
Etymology
From Latin ambustio, from amburere (ambi- 'around' + burere 'to burn'). This is a medical/anatomical term that entered English through Latin, maintaining the Latinate ending -tion.
Kelly Says
This word is nearly extinct in modern medicine—doctors now say 'burn' instead—but it survived in older medical texts and shows how Latin-based terminology gradually gets replaced by simpler Anglo-Saxon words as languages modernize.
