Etymology
From Latin tussis (“cough”).
noun
- A cough.“In cachectic subjects, or in a strumous child the victim is never safe when the diathesis is reinforced by any contagion which further undermines a constitution built on sand. Even in such cases the force of the tussis attack can be rendered less forceful by judicious treatment and proper care.”
