Etymology
'angioneurotic' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'angeion' meaning 'vessel' and 'neuron' meaning 'nerve', combined with the suffix '-otic' meaning 'pertaining to'.
'angioneurotic' was formed in modern medical English from Greek roots, combining 'angio-' (vessel) and 'neurotic' (pertaining to nerves), to describe conditions involving both blood vessels and nerves.
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to disorders of blood vessels and nerves', and this meaning has remained consistent in medical usage.
