Etymology
'angiolymphitis' originates from New Latin, specifically the words 'angio-' meaning 'vessel', 'lymph' meaning 'lymph', and '-itis' meaning 'inflammation'.
'angiolymphitis' was formed in modern medical terminology by combining Greek and Latin roots to describe inflammation involving both blood and lymphatic vessels.
Initially, it meant 'inflammation of blood and lymphatic vessels', and this meaning has remained unchanged in modern medical usage.
