Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'caesareus' (pertaining to cutting, though popularly and historically linked to Julius Caesar, who was allegedly born this way), combined with 'section' from Latin 'sectio' (a cutting). The term has been used in medical English since the late 16th century to describe surgical childbirth.
