Diagnostic

/ˌdaɪəɡˈnɑːstɪk/ adjective, noun

Definition

As an adjective, diagnostic describes tools, tests, or signs used to identify a disease or problem. As a noun, a diagnostic is a specific test or procedure that helps make a diagnosis.

Etymology

From Greek "diagnōstikos" meaning "able to distinguish," from "diagnōsis" (discernment). It entered English through scientific and medical language in the 18th–19th centuries.

Kelly Says

Anything "diagnostic" is like a spotlight shining past the obvious to reveal what’s really wrong. That’s why we talk about diagnostic tests in computers and cars too—they’re all about asking the right questions of a system.
