Definition
Relating to diphtheria; affected by or characteristic of the diphtheria disease.
Etymology
From diphtheria (Greek 'diphthera' meaning leather/membrane) + -ian suffix. An older adjectival form less commonly used than 'diphtherial' or 'diphtheric' in modern medicine.
Kelly Says
When diphtheria vaccination became widespread in the 20th century, this word became increasingly rare—it's a linguistic reminder that some diseases can be conquered enough to fade from everyday language.
