Hebotomy

/hɛˈbɑtəmi/ noun

Definition

A variant spelling of hebetomy; a surgical procedure intended to dull sensation or reduce awareness, particularly in psychiatric treatment.

Etymology

An alternative form of hebetomy with the prefix hebo- instead of hebete-. Both derive from Latin hebēs (dull) + Greek -tomy (cutting), but this variant uses a contracted form of the root.

Kelly Says

The existence of two spellings (hebetomy and hebotomy) shows how fluid medical terminology was in earlier centuries—doctors weren't always sure how to Latinize Greek roots correctly!
