Etymology

Diabète comes from the Latin *diabetes*, itself borrowed from the Greek *diabetes* (διαβήτης), literally “one who walks through,” from *di-* “through” + *bainein* “to stride, pass.” The word entered French in the early 19th century, following the medical adoption of the English term *diabetes*, and its spelling was adapted to French phonology with the acute accent on the final *e*. It has since been used to denote the chronic disease marked by high blood sugar.
