tubercular (adj.)
/tuːˈbɜːrkjələr/
The doctor suspected a tubercular infection.
医生怀疑是结核感染。
In the early 1900s, many patients were sent to mountain sanatoriums because their tubercular symptoms worsened in crowded cities.
在20世纪初,许多病人因在拥挤城市里结核症状加重而被送往山间疗养院。
来自 tubercle(小结节、小疙瘩),其源头可追溯到拉丁语 tuberculum(“小肿块/小突起”,来自 tuber “肿块”)。tubercular 本义与“结节/结核样突起”相关,后常用于描述与结核病(tuberculosis)有关的状态或症状。
