- While English uses a Latin-derived term, the Arabic term is entirely constructed from Semitic roots that describe the physical state of the body.
- The plural form الرتوج uses a 'broken plural' pattern, a complex Arabic grammatical feature where the internal structure of the word changes rather than just adding a suffix.
- In Arabic medical contexts, the word التهاب is used for any form of inflammation, whether it is a minor redness or a severe infection.
