This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ...Its origin has been sought in various Greek words: --xtjXt a crab's claw; itr/Ajj a tumour; icijXte a spot, "quasi ustione facta macula" (itself from Kcu'w); Kjjxoc, viz. burnt up (from Ksw, to burn); and )(tXve, a tortoise. Some writers are in favour of one derivation, some of another. Rayer thinks it comes either from or xXt). Ramberg (according to Dieburg) derives it either from Kt/xoc or Kr('X . Dieburg himself inclines to the opinion that it came from KtlXte, and Addison was in favour of the same view. It may appear presumptuous to express an opinion in reference to a matter about which doubt has so long prevailed. But I must confess that, after reading what was written on the subject by Alibert and Rayer, I incline strongly to the view that the word Keloid (or Cheloid, as it was often at first spelt) was derived from jjxjj, "a crab's claw." Rayer, indeed, distinctly says that Keloide owes its name to the peculiar prolongations of the tumours which bear this appellation--prolongations on which great stress has been laid, and which Rayer himself compares to the claws of a crab. It would appear from this statement of Rayer's that the origin of Keloid must be sought either in jjXrj or yiXue, in the similarity either to the claws of a crab, or to the limbs of a tortoise, to which also the tumours in question have been likened. Alibert, so far as I have read, nowhere hints at the derivation of the term; but there are many indirect indications in his work. The heading to his chapter on the disease is as follows: "KELOIDE--KELIS." "Kelos, chJloide, ccmero'ide, tubercules dures, cancelli, cancroma, cancre bhmc, le crabe." Whence all these synonyms were obtained I do not know; 1 'Abrege Pratique, '...
