Etymology sub-heading is located after "Treatment and prognosis" and before "Differential diagnosis". 

Structure

Some articles may relate to terms or conditions where the history of the name is interesting or useful. This is most often the case with eponymous syndromes but can also reflect the roots (often Latin or Greek) of the word. In the case of eponymnseponyms, add "eponymous" as a tag and list the relevant people as a bulleted list:

  • Dr Harold Style: anatomist and artist : Bonn, Germany (1921 - 1998-1998)

For more information, see the specific page on eponymous syndromes.
