Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'chest', derived from Old English 'cist' (meaning a box or coffin, later applied to the thorax), and 'compression', from Latin 'compressio' (from 'comprimere', to press together). It emerged as a distinct medical and life-saving phrase in the mid-20th century with the widespread adoption and standardization of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques.
