Message definition (Diabetes)
The word ''[[wikt:mellitus|mellitus]]'' ({{IPAc-en|m|ə|ˈ|l|aɪ|t|ə|s}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɛ|l|ᵻ|t|ə|s}}) comes from the classical Latin word ''mellītus'', meaning "mellite" (i.e. sweetened with honey; honey-sweet). The Latin word comes from ''mell''-, which comes from ''mel'', meaning "honey"; sweetness; pleasant thing, and the suffix -''ītus'', whose meaning is the same as that of the English suffix "-ite". It was [[Thomas Willis]] who in 1675 added "mellitus" to the word "diabetes" as a designation for the disease, when he noticed the urine of a person with diabetes had a sweet taste (glycosuria). This sweet taste had been noticed in urine by the ancient Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians, Indians, and [[Persian people|Persians]].
