Word: fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva Part of Speech: noun Etymology: PIE word *h₃ésth₁ From English fibrodysplasia, and borrowed from New Latin ossificans + Latin prōgressīvā, literally “abnormal development of fibrous tissue with ossification that is progressive”: * Fibrodysplasia is derived from fibro- (prefix meaning ‘fibre; fibrous’) (from Latin fibra (“fibre; filament”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”)) + dysplasia (“abnormal development of cells or tissue”) (from dys- (prefix meaning ‘abnormal; disease’) + -plasia (suffix meaning ‘formation; growth’)). * Ossificans is from Latin ossīs (a plural form of ossum (“bone”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ésth₁ (“bone”)) + -ficāns (the present active participle of -ficō (suffix forming chiefly causative or factitive verbs)). * Prōgressīvā is the ablative feminine singular of prōgressīvus (“progressive”), from prōgressus (“advanced, proceeded; developed, progressed”) (the perfect active participle of prōgredior (“to advance, proceed; (figurative) to develop, progress”), from prō- (prefix denoting a forward direction) + gradior (“to step; to walk; to advance”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʰredʰ- (“to go; to walk”))) + -īvus (suffix forming adjectives).
