Functio laesa
Functio laesa
Functio laesa (pronounced: funk-tee-oh lay-sah) is a Latin term in medical terminology that refers to the "loss of function" or "injured function". This term is often used in the context of describing the classic signs of inflammation.
Etymology
The term "Functio laesa" is derived from Latin, where "Functio" means function and "laesa" means injured or hurt. It was first used in the medical context by Celsus, a Roman encyclopedist, known for his extant medical work, De Medicina, which is believed to be the only surviving section of a much larger encyclopedia.
