Etymology
Acupuncture comes from Latin parts acus 'needle' and punctura 'a prick', and you can see the same idea in the English word puncture, so it literally means 'needle prick'. The treatment began in China, and the name fits because acupuncture uses thin needles placed into the skin to help with pain or illness.
