Etymology
The word fasciitis comes from the Latin fascia, meaning 'band' or 'bandage', and the medical ending -itis, meaning 'inflammation'. A helpful way to remember fascia is to think of a thin 'band' of tissue that wraps and supports muscles. So fasciitis is the swelling or inflammation of that 'band', which is why it causes pain and stiffness in the area.
