'diarthrosis' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'diarthrōsis,' where 'dia-' meant 'through' and 'arthrōsis' meant 'joint.'

'diarthrōsis' transformed into the Latin word 'diarthrosis,' and eventually became the modern English word 'diarthrosis.'

Initially, it meant 'a joint allowing movement,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
