[Middle English diabete, from Medieval Latin diabts, from Latin, from Greek, siphon, diabetes, from diabainein, to cross over, straddle : dia-, dia- + bainein, to go; see g^w- in Indo-European roots.]

Word History: Diabetes is named for one of its distressing symptoms. The disease was known to the Greeks as diabts, a word derived from the verb diabainein, made up of the prefix dia-, "across, apart," and the word bainein, "to walk, stand." The verb diabeinein meant "to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder"; hence, its derivative diabts meant "one that straddles," or specifically "a compass, siphon." The sense "siphon" gave rise to the use of diabts as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the form diabete, in a medical text written around 1425.
