Etymology
Διάγνωση comes from the ancient Greek verb διαγιγνώσκω, built from the prefix διά (through, apart) and γιγνώσκω (to know, to perceive). The core idea is telling one thing apart from another by careful examination. Greek doctors used the term for medical judgment long before it passed into Latin and then English as diagnosis.
