Given that the world's hope of getting out of this wretched pandemic resides in Science in the hands of doctors, it's a pity that the word nosocomial has been seen around the place recently.
Nosocomial describes a disease that's caught in hospital.
Shhh!
Sunday Rest: nosocomial. The Greek word nosokomos describes someone who tends the sick. Komein means to tend. Nosos means disease.
