preeclampsia
子癇前症
解説 Definition
妊娠中に高血圧やたんぱく尿が生じる合併症で、母体と胎児に危険を及ぼす疾患。
Preeclampsia is a serious medical condition that can happen during pregnancy, usually involving high blood pressure and other health problems. It is a term used mainly by doctors and in medical settings. Because it is a technical word, it is not common in everyday conversation.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
pre- は「前」なので、まず「eclampsia の前段階」と骨組みで覚えるのが近道です。医学語は一語丸暗記より、強い語を核にして前後を足すと定着しやすく、これは eclampsia を知っていれば意味の輪郭がかなり取れます。妊娠中の健診で見つかる high blood pressure や protein in the urine と一緒に覚えると場面ごと残ります。eclampsia と混同せず、「発作そのもの」ではなく、その前に現れる危険サインの段階だと整理すると記憶しやすいです。
Use the prefix first: `pre-` means "before." So `preeclampsia` is the stage before `eclampsia`, which makes the long word easier to hold in your mind. Remember it with common medical phrases like `high blood pressure` and `protein in the urine` during pregnancy checkups.

preeclampsia の語源・成り立ち Etymology
preeclampsia は pre-「前」+ eclampsia「子癇」から成る医学語で、eclampsia はギリシャ語 eklampsis「突然の閃光」にさかのぼる。症状が急に激しく現れる感じが語源にあり、「発作の前段階」という意味で理解しやすい。関連語は eclamptic, lamp。
Preeclampsia is a medical term built from pre-, meaning "before," and eclampsia. Eclampsia comes through Greek eklampsis, meaning something like "a sudden shining out" or "flash," from a verb meaning "to shine forth." The word developed to name a condition seen as coming before eclampsia; related forms include eclamptic.
