Etymology

The French noun *infarctus* is a direct borrowing from the Latin *infarctus*, the past participle of *in‑farcī* “to stuff in, fill up.” The Latin verb combines the prefix *in-* “into” with *farcī* “to stuff, fill,” a root that also gives English *infill* and *farc* (to fill). First recorded in English medical literature in the 19th century, the term was adopted into French with its modern medical sense of an area of tissue dead‑zone caused by a blocked blood supply.
