arthritic

arthritic
arthritic (adj.) mid-14c., artetyk, "pertaining to arthritis," also as a noun, from O.Fr. artetique (12c., Mod.Fr. arthritique), corresponding to L. arthriticus, from Gk. arthritikos, from arthron "joint" (see ARM (Cf. arm) (n.1)). Spelling gradually restored to Latin form in 17c.
