Definition
An older or alternative scientific term for botulism; the disease caused by botulinum toxin.
Etymology
From Latin botulus (sausage) plus the medical suffix '-ismus' (from Greek -ismos), representing Latinized medical nomenclature from the 18th-19th centuries.
Kelly Says
The progression from 'botulismus' (Latin medical term) to 'botulism' (English medical term) mirrors how scientific language shifted from Latin toward English in the 19th-20th centuries, as British and American researchers displaced continental Europeans in many fields.
