Verb

edit

diagnose (third-person singular simple present diagnoses, present participle diagnosing, simple past and past participle diagnosed)

  1. (transitive, medicine) To determine which disease is causing a sick person's signs and symptoms; to find the diagnosis.
  2. (by extension) To determine the cause of a problem.
    • 1962 October, M. J. Wilson, “Three years of dieselisation at Devons Road depot”, in Modern Railways, pages 262, 264:
      But in the early days of the scheme the new machines created some problems for the fitters, who found them over-complex and their faults hard to diagnose after many years' experience of small, simple steam locomotives.
    • 2002, John J. Schiavone, Training for On-board Bus Electronics, page 19:
      Mechanics use this extremely portable tool to diagnose engine faults, clear fault codes, and export data.

Usage notes

edit
  • Some argue that to "diagnose [someone] with a disease" is an incorrect usage because the verb takes the physician as subject and a disease as object.
