Diagnosis

/ˌdaɪəɡˈnoʊsɪs/ noun

Definition

A diagnosis is a doctor’s decision about what illness or problem a person has, based on their symptoms, tests, and examination. More generally, it can mean identifying the cause of any problem.

Etymology

From Greek "diagnōsis" meaning "discernment" or "distinguishing," formed from "dia-" (through) and "gnōsis" (knowledge). It entered English through medical Latin in the 17th century.

Kelly Says

Diagnosis is literally "knowing through"—seeing through the surface signs to the hidden cause. In both medicine and everyday life, a good diagnosis is often half the cure, because it tells you what to actually fix.
