'albuminocholia' originates from New Latin, specifically the word 'albumin' combined with 'cholia,' where 'albumin' refers to a type of protein and 'cholia' refers to bile.

'albuminocholia' was formed in the 19th century by combining 'albumin' with 'cholia' to describe a medical condition involving bile.

Initially, it meant 'presence of albumin in bile,' and this meaning has remained consistent in medical terminology.
