Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral root م-ر-ض, which carries the sense of illness. From the noun مَرَض (illness) Arabic forms the Form II verb مَرَّضَ, meaning to tend or care for the sick. مُمَرِّض is the active participle of that verb, so it names the one who does the tending: the nurse.
