Etymology

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese *cirurgião, cilurgião, celorgião, *cerorgião (“chirurgeon”), from *chīrūrgiānus, a Vulgar Latin derivative of Latin chīrūrgia (“surgery”), from chīrūrgus (“surgeon”), from Ancient Greek χειρουργία (kheirourgía), from χείρ (kheír, “hand”) + ἔργον (érgon, “work”).
