Hi - my first time on this excellent board and I get to correct somebody (and the web site cited)! Stat is from STATIM, not statinum. I studied 5 years of Latin, but still had to check the Latin-English dictionary at http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/ to be sure enough to post this.

That medical words site may not be wholly reliable.


And hi from Martinus of the inaccurate Latin post. I read your correction and wondered what you were on about because my brain had already corrected the original word statinum to statim (my 5 years of Latin 25 years ago still has some effect) and I had to re-read my original cut-and-pasted post to find the error from the website. Thanks.
