Word origin
ヘルニア (herunia) is a Japanese medical loanword from German Hernie, ultimately from Latin hernia, meaning "rupture" or "protrusion".
Usage tips
- In English, hernia is normally a count noun, so medical descriptions usually say "a hernia" or "the hernia" rather than using it without an article.
