Etymology of poliomyelitis

The term “poliomyelitis” originates from Greek words: “polios” meaning “gray,” “myelos” meaning “marrow” (referring to the spinal cord), and the suffix “-itis” meaning “inflammation.” German physician Adolph Kussmaul coined the term around 1874, reflecting the inflammation of the spinal cord’s gray matter that causes paralysis.
