Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Spanish fiebre, hiebre, probably a semi-learned descendant of Latin febrem, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰris, an extension of the root *dʰegʷʰ- (to burn, warm). This term was used primarily by doctors and educated people in the past, and did not undergo all the expected sound changes of an inherited term; compare the more popular term calentura.[1]
