measling

Etymology

Unknown, but probably via Scandinavian forms such as Swedish mässlingen (“pustules, measles”), Danish mæslinger (“measles”), Icelandic mislingar (“measles”), etc. combining the Germanic roots related to blood blisters with the suffix -ing. In reference to delamination, possibly a separate derivation from measle + -ing under influence from the dialectal name for the disease.

measling means synonym of measle: the disease caused by M. morbillivirus, a red spot caused by the disease. Lexicurio rates it Sui generis — a strength score of 87 out of 100.
