Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Early Modern English word autopsy, originating from medieval Latin autopsia, itself stemming from Greek autopsia meaning 'seeing with one's own eyes', from autos ('self') + opsis ('sight'). Historically used to denote personal observation, its meaning shifted by the 17th century to specifically refer to the post-mortem examination of a body.
