English

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Latin lepra (“psoriasis & similar skin diseases”), from Koine Greek λέπρα (lépra, “psoriasis & similar skin diseases”), from λεπρός (leprós, “scaly”), from either λεπίς (lepís, “scale”) or λέπος (lépos, “husk, scale”) + -ρος (-ros, suffix forming adjectives). The shift of sense from psoriasis to Hansen's disease occurred in large part from the use of λέπρα (lépra) to translate Hebrew צרעת (“tzaraath”) in the Septuagint and its subsequent use in the New Testament and Late Latin.

    • 1914, Henry Weightman Stelwagon, Treatise on Diseases of the Skin, 7th edition, page 914:
      Lepra is an endemic, chronic, malignant, constitutional disease, due to a specific bacillus.
  2. (medicine, obsolete) Synonym of psoriasis.
    • 1864, William Tilbury Fox, Skin Diseases, page 43:
      Lepra and psoriasis are identical, though the two names are retained.

    • 1805, translation of Karl Ludwig Willdenow as The Principles of Botany and of Vegetable Physiology, p. 344:
      Lepra is frequently met with on the trunks, especially of young trees.
