Excerpt from The National Medical Dictionary, Vol. 1: Including English, French, German, Italian, and Latin Technical Terms Used in Medicine and the Collateral Sciences, and a Series of Tables of Useful Data

A certain number of Latin terms have been admitted which are now so rarely used that they may be called obsolete, but which are liable from time to time to be employed. A few have also been taken as examples of what attempts at useless word-building may lead to.

The total number of words and phrases defined is of which are Latin, 9158 French, German, and 6514 Italian. This does not include French, German, and Italian synonyms given only in connection with English or Latin primes.

Excerpt from The National Medical Dictionary, Vol. 1: Including English, French, German, Italian, and Latin Technical Terms Used in Medicine and the Collateral Sciences, and a Series of Tables of Useful Data

The object of this Dictionary is to furnish to students and practitioners of med icme a clear, concise definition of every medical term in current use in English, French, German, and Italian medical literature, including the Latin medical termin ology of all of these languages. For the more important words in English and Latin the synonyms in French, German, and Italian are given when these differ from the prime word. For English and Latin terms the pronunciation is indicated by an accented syllable, and for those English words thought to require it by a simple system of phonetic spelling. For most English and Anglicised Latin words, with the exception of names of drugs and plants, the derivation is given.
