Etymology

The word comes from the Arabic root ج ر ح (j-r-ḥ), which carries the sense of wounding or cutting. From this root Arabic forms جِراحَة (jirāḥa, surgery) and جَرّاح (jarrāḥ, surgeon). Adding the nisba suffix ـِيّ turns جِراحَة into the adjective جِراحِيّ, meaning of or relating to surgery.
