# American Medical Biographies/Woodward, Theodore

​Woodward, Theodore (1788–1840)
Theodore Woodward was born in Hanover, New Hampshire, July 17, 1788, and died in Brattleboro, Vermont, October 10, 1840. He studied medicine under Nathan Smith, his maternal uncle, and completed his study with Dr. Adin Kendrich of Poultney, Vt. At the age of twenty-one he began to practice and remained all his life in Castleton, Vermont. By the aid of his colleague, Dr. Selah Gridley, and some friends of the enterprise, he succeeded in founding and establishing the Vermont Academy of Medicine at Castleton, Vermont, which became associated with Middlebury College. He was a member of the Corporation of the Vermont Academy of Medicine from 1818 to 1840, and professor of surgery and obstetrics there from 1818 to 1824, and the same in 1822, with diseases of women and children added. In 1824 he was registrar of the Academy and made professor of the principles and practice of surgery, obstetrics and the diseases of women and children, continuing this work until 1838, when he became incapacitated by the disease that terminated his life.
He was a laborious student of everything which related to the nature and cure of disease, and blended with unusual symmetry the characters and avocations of the student and the physician.
Woodward was distinguished for quickness of apprehension and acute discrimination when investigating disease, and great shrewdness in the expediency and adaptation of remedies.
During the course of his practice he performed most of the operations of surgery which are regarded as critical and was distinguished for his fortunate selection of the proper time and for his medical treatment.
He married Mary Armington, and had three sons and three daughters. One son, Adrian Theodore Woodward, studied medicine and became a general surgeon.
# American Medical Biographies/Worthington, Edward Dagge

​Worthington, Edward Dagge (1820–1895)
Edward D. Worthington, who is said to have been the first surgeon in Canada who performed a capital operation under ether, was born in Queen's County, Ireland, December 1, 1820. His parents, John Worthington and Mary Dagge, sailed for America on May 2nd, 1822, and settled in Quebec for the remainder of their lives. In 1834 Dr. Worthington was indentured for seven years to the distinguished James Douglas (q.v.), and after serving over five years, Dr. Douglas relieved him from the balance of his indenture, to enable him to accept an appointment as staff-assistant-surgeon in the British army. An assistant-surgeoncy in the army, however, in those piping times of peace, with its "7s. 6d. sterling per diem, and rations," presented few attractions, so after serving two years, he left the army and went to Edinburgh, where he spent two years in attending lectures and "walking" the hospitals. He was awarded the medal of the Royal College of Surgeons there, and became acquainted with many eminent men.
In 1843 he returned to Canada and settled in Sherbrooke, Eastern townships, where he soon built up an extensive practice, and won the fullest confidence of the community in his skill as a surgeon, having for over forty years all of the practice in his district. On March 10, 1847 he amputated below the knee, under ether, and in January, 1848, operated on three cases under chloroform, one being excision of bone. In 1854 the University of Bishop's College, Lennoxville, conferred upon him the degree of M. A., honoris causa, and in 1868 McGill College, Montreal, that of M. D. C. M. ad eundem.
He was distinguished as a friend and physician of the poor, and in 1865 he was presented with a flattering address and a solid tea service as a mark of public favor, for his gratuitous attendance on the poor. He was given also a gold watch and chain for his energetic and successful efforts to prevent the spread of that most loathsome of all diseases in Sherbrooke, the smallpox.
He was a private in the Quebec Regiment of Volunteer Light Infantry, and on active service in both Fenian raids, retiring in 1887, retaining his rank as surgeon-major.
He wrote extensively for periodicals, especially for the Canada Medical Journal, of Montreal, and some of his papers were copied into the medical journals of Great Britain and the United States. Among these may be mentioned: "A New Method of Bed-making in Fractures," (1871); "Glue Bandage in Fractures," (1872); "Acute Fibrinous Bronchitis, with Expectoration of Tube Casts," (1876).
He married Fanny Louisa Smith, daughter of Hon. Hollis Smith, in 1845. Mrs. Worthington died in 1887, leaving five children, two daughters and three sons. One son, Arthur Norreys, graduated in medicine at McGill University in 1886, and settled in Sherbrooke.
Dr. Worthington died early in the year 1895.
# American Medical Biographies/Woodward, Rufus

​Woodward, Rufus (1819–1885)
Rufus Woodward, physician of Worcester, Massachusetts, was the son of Dr. Samuel B. Woodward (q.v.), and was born in Wethersfield, Connecticut, October 3, 1819.
He was fitted for Harvard College in the Worcester schools. After graduating from college in 1841 he began to study medicine with Joseph Sargent (q.v.), of Worcester, and in 1842 entered the Harvard Medical School, where he graduated three years later. "For three years he was assistant physician at the State Lunatic Hospital in Worcester, and then spent two years in study in Europe, devoting much time to the study of insanity, with the intention of assisting his father in a private asylum for mental diseases in Northampton. His plans were changed by the latter's sudden death in 1850, and on his return to this country soon after, he established himself in ​general practice in Worcester. For thirty years he devoted himself to his profession, seeing patients even on the very day of his sudden death, December 30, 1885, at the age of sixty-six.
He was a member of the local and state medical societies and during the war of 1861–65 was examining surgeon for volunteers. From 1863 to 1866 he was city physician and again in 1877 he held this position, and from 1871 to 1880 visiting surgeon to the City Hospital. In natural history and botany he was always greatly interested and was one of the founders and for many years president of the Worcester Natural History Society. Much of his spare time was spent in his garden, and any wild flower of the neighborhood of Worcester he did not know was rare indeed.
His son Lemuel F. Woodward became a surgeon in Worcester.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Andacht

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Andacht. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Andacht, feminine, ‘devotion,’ from Middle High German andâht, Old High German ánadâht, ‘attention, devotion’; Middle High German dûht, feminine, ‘thought,’ is a verbal abstract from Middle High German and Modern High German denken.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Angesicht

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Angesicht. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Angesicht, neuter, ‘face, presence,’ from Middle High German angesiht, neuter, ‘aspect, view,’ Middle German also ‘face’; allied to Gesicht, sehen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Angst

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Angst. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Angst, feminine, from the equivalent Middle High German angest, Old High German angust, feminine, ‘anxiety, apprehension’; this abstract form is wanting in the other Old Teutonic dialects, the suffix st being also very rarely found; compare Dienst. But it must not be assumed therefore that the Old High German angust is borrowed from Latin angustiae, ‘narrowness, meanness.’ It is ​rather to be regarded as a genuine Teutonic derivative from the root ang appearing in enge, especially as the Old Slovenian in its primitively allied ązostî, ‘contraction,’ shows the same derivation. Hence Angst must be considered as primitively cognate with Latin angustiae. See bange and enge.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Angel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Angel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Angel, masculine and feminine, from the equivalent Middle High German angel, masculine, feminine, ‘sting, fish-hook, hinge of a door,’ Old High German angul, masculine. ‘sting, point, fish-hook’; diminutive of Old High German ango, ‘sting, door hinge,’ Middle High German ange, ‘fish-hook, door hinge.’ Compare Anglo-Saxon ongel, English angle, Anglo-Saxon onga, ‘sting,’ Old Icelandic ǫngull ‘fish-hook,’ allied to ange, ‘sting, point’ (Alemannian angel, ‘bee sting,’ angelmuck, ‘stinging fly’). The supposition that the primitively and widely diffused cognates are borrowed from Latin angulus, ‘angle, corner,’ is untenable; Old Bulgarian ąglŭ, English angle, Anglo-Saxon angul, ‘angle, corner,’ are, however, primitively allied to it; so too England, Angelsachsen. The root idea of the Teutonic cognates is ‘pointed.’ An Aryan root onk, ‘to be pointed,’ also lies at the base of Latin uncus, Greek ὄγκος, ὄγκινος, ‘barb,’ ἄγκιστρον, ‘fish-hook,’ Sanscrit aṅka, ‘hook,’ Osset. ängur, ‘hook, hinge,’ Old Irish écad, hook.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Anger

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Anger. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Anger, masculine, ‘paddock, grass plot,’ from Middle High German anger, Old High German angar, masculine, ‘pasture land, grass plot, arable land’; allied to Old Icelandic eng, enge, ‘meadow, pasture ground.’ The cognates can scarcely be derived from enge, ‘narrow’ (Teutonic root ang). Trustworthy correspondences are wanting.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Anis

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Anis. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Anis, masculine, from the equivalent Middle High German anîs, also enis, neuter, ‘anise,’ borrowed perhaps even before the Middle High German period from Latin anîsum (Greek ἄνϊσον), ‘anise,’ whence also French anis, English anise.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Anke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Anke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Anke, masculine ‘butter,’ an Alemannian word, from Middle High German anke, Old High German ancho, ‘butter’; the genuine German term for the borrowed word Butter, for which, in the Old High German period, anc-smëro or chuo-smëro, literally ‘cow-fat’ (see Schmeer), might also be used. Gothic *agqa for Old High German ancho is not recorded. It is certainly allied primitively to the Indian root añj, ‘to anoint, besmear,’ and to Latin unguo, ‘to anoint’; compare Sanscrit âjya ‘butter-offering,’ Old Irish imb (from imben-), ‘butter.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Andauche

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Falke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Falke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Falke, masculine, ‘falcon, hawk,’ from the equivalent Middle High German valke, Old High German falcho, masculine (in Upper German still written Falch). In the other Teutonic languages the word does not appear till late in the Middle Ayes (Old Icelandic falke, English falcon, Dutch valk), yet Falco already existed in Lombardicic proper names (compare also Anglo-Saxon Wester-falcna). Among the Anglo-Saxons the falcon was called wealhheafoc, ‘Welsh hawk’; Old Icelandic valr, ‘falcon,’ is properly ‘the Kelic (bird)’; compare Walnuß, welsch. Hence it is possible that Old High German falcho originated in the tribal name Volcae, ‘Kelts’; *volcon- may have become falkon-, and the Romance cognates (Italian falcone, French faucon) borrowed from it. But it is also possible that the word is connected with the cognates of fahl (Upper German falch, ‘a fawn-coloured cow’); hence Falke, ‘a fawn-coloured (bird)’?. If, on the other hand, the word originated in the Latin-Romance cognates (Latin falco is recorded in the 4th century), we must base it on the Latin falx, ‘sickle’; falco, literally ‘sickle-bearer’ (on account of its hooked claws?).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fall

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Falle

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Falle. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Falle, feminine, from Middle High German valle, Old High German falla, feminine, ‘snare, decipula’; Anglo-Saxon fealle, feminine, ‘laqueus, decipula’ (wanting in English), Dutch val, ‘snare, noose.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wade

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wade. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wade, feminine, ‘calf’ (of the leg), from the equivalent Middle High German wade, masculine (used chiefly in the plural), Old High German wado, masculine; compare the equivalent Dutch wade. Old Icelandic vǫðve, masculine, ‘muscle,’ shows that the more general meaning was ‘muscle’; Old High German ado (accusative wadun) is based on Teutonic waþwo, masculine. There are no cognates in the non-Teutonic languages.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wagner

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wagner. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wagner, masculine, ‘cartwright’ from Middle High German wagener, ‘cartwright, driver, carrier,’ Old High German waganâri, ‘cartwright’; hence the proper name Wagner.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Waffe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Waffe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Waffe, feminine, ‘weapon,’ from the equivalent Middle High German waffen, wâfen, Old High German waffan, wâfan, neuter, ‘weapon, sword, armour’; corresponding to Gothic wépna, neuter plural, ‘weapons,’ Anglo-Saxon wœ̂pn, English weapon, Dutch wapen. Compare also Wappen. Teutonic wêpno- (wapono-) assumes a Teutonic wêbono- (wobono-); its connection with the equivalent Greek ὅπλον (literally ‘utensil’) is conceivable by assuming a double root, wop, wob. Whether this root is identical with the Sanscrit root vap, ‘to scatter, sow,’ in which case ‘missile’ would be the primary meaning of Waffe, is uncertain.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Waffel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Waffel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Waffel, feminine, ‘waffle, wafer,’ Modern High German only, properly a Low German word; compare Dutch wafel (hence English waffle), The Waffel was so called from its resemblance to the honeycomb, for the French term gaufre signifies both ‘honeycomb’ and ‘waffle’ Compare English wafer and Wake.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wage

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wage. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wage, feminine, ‘balance,’ from Middle High German wâdge, Old High German wâga, feminine, ‘balance, weighing-machine’ (allied to wägen). Corresponding to Old Saxon wâga, Dutch waag, Anglo-Saxon wœ̂g (whence English to weigh), Old Icelandic vâg, feminine, ‘balance.’ Allied to the Teutonic root weg in wiegen.

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wagen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wagen, masculine, ‘vehicle, carriage, waggon,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wagen, Old High German wagan, masculine; corresponding to the equivalent Dutch wagen, Anglo-Saxon wœgn, English wain, Old Icelandic vagn, ‘waggon.’ Based on the Teutonic root wëg (see Weg); from the corresponding Aryan root wëgh, wogh, ‘to drag, drive,’ are derived Greek ἄχος, Latin vehiculum, Old Icelandic fén, ‘waggon.’ The Aryan words Rad and Nabe show that vehicles were used in primitive times; for the Aryan root wegh, ‘to drag, to move on,’ see wegen. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wahl

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wahl. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wahl, feminine, ‘choice, election,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wal, Old High German wala, feminine; to this is allied Modern High German wählen, ‘to choose,’ from the equivalent Middle High German węln, węllen, Old High German węllen (from *waljan), weak verb.

​ Wachs, neuter, ‘wax,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German wahs, neuter, common to Teutonic in the same sense; compare Old Icelandic vax, Anglo-Saxon weahs, English wax, Low German and Dutch was. Old Slovenian (Russian) voskŭ, Lithuanian wászkas, ‘wax,’ perhaps borrowed from Old Teutonic, are closely related to this word.
