Etymology
'anginose' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'angina,' where 'angina' meant 'infection of the throat' or 'quinsy,' and the suffix '-ose' means 'full of' or 'pertaining to.'
'angina' was adopted into English from Latin, and the adjective form 'anginose' was formed in English by adding the suffix '-ose.'
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to angina (throat infection or pain),' and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
