diagnóstico

/djaɡˈnostiko/ · B2 · adj

diagnostic

🩺 dia- (through) + gnosis (knowing): knowing a disease through its signs

From Greek diagnōstikos, able to distinguish. Gnosis is knowledge, the same root as agnostic. In Spanish the stress falls on NOS: diag-NOS-ti-co, and the written accent marks it.
