diagnosi

diagnosis

noun dee-AHG-noh-zee Rare
Body & Health Medicine

Origin: Greek diagnosis (discernment)

Usage Note

Diagnosi ends in -si, making it invariable in the plural — la diagnosi and le diagnosi look identical, so the article is the only marker of number. It is feminine: la diagnosi è stata confermata. The same pattern applies to analisi, crisi, tesi, and sintesi — a useful set of invariable nouns worth knowing.

Examples

"La diagnosi è arrivata dopo una settimana."

Natural Translation

The diagnosis came after a week.
