Terminology includes specialized words used in a specific field and their meanings. A term is a word, compound word, or multiple expression that is given a specific meaning in a specific context. 1 Although these terms are the same word, in different contexts, they can have different meanings from everyday language. 1 Medical terminology is a professional term mainly used by people in the medical and medical fields. 2 There is no way to know what the first medical term was, but medical terminology must have started to develop along with human birth, aging, and disease. Many of the medical terms we are currently using first appeared in the literature, 'Hippocratic Corpus' published in the era of the Greek Hippocrates, and terms such as symptoms, pain, disease, and infection had already begun to be used at this time. 3,4 Some of these medical terms are familiar to the public, but there are still many medical terms that only experts can communicate, making it difficult for patients to acquire information.
