'amblosis' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'amblōsis,' where 'amblō-' meant 'blunt' or 'dull' and '-sis' was a suffix used to form nouns.

'amblōsis' was used in ancient Greek medical texts and eventually became the rare English term 'amblosis.'

Initially, it meant 'a blunting or dulling,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a type of abortion or miscarriage.'
