Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from New Latin, combining 'bilirubin' (referring to the red-orange bile pigment, from Latin bilis 'bile' + ruber 'red') and the Greek suffix '-uria' (denoting a condition of the urine). It entered medical nomenclature in the late 19th century as biochemistry and urinalysis advanced.
