Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
An acronym formed from the initial letters of 'cardiopulmonary resuscitation'. The medical term combines 'cardio-' from the Greek kardia (heart), 'pulmonary' from the Latin pulmo (lung), and 'resuscitation' from the Latin resuscitat-, meaning 'revived'. It entered widespread medical and public use in the mid-20th century as emergency life-support techniques became standardized.
