Abolish
Abolish
Abolish (/əˈbɒlɪʃ/) is a term often used in medical context to refer to the complete removal or ending of a particular condition, symptom, or disease. The term is derived from the Middle English word 'abolisshen', which in turn comes from the Old French 'aboliss-', a stem of 'abolir' meaning 'to abolish', and ultimately from the Latin 'abolēre' meaning 'to destroy'.
Medical Usage
In medical terminology, 'abolish' is used to denote the complete cessation or removal of a symptom, condition, or disease. For example, a treatment or therapy might be said to 'abolish' a patient's pain, meaning it completely removes or ends the pain.
