Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in the late 19th century, the term combines the Latin 'fibra' (meaning fiber) with the Greek suffix '-itis' (denoting inflammation). Historically used to describe generalized inflammation of white fibrous tissue, the medical nomenclature has largely been superseded by modern concepts of fibromyalgia.
