Finding the cause of a problem, especially in medicine
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'the identification of a disease or condition' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'medical' (relating to medicine) with 'diagnosis' (the process of determining a cause). This compound follows a straightforward modifier+noun pattern found across many languages and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Medical diagnosis comes from Greek parts dia and gnosis, which meant 'through' and 'knowledge'. Imagine a doctor looking 'through' a patient's symptoms to find the real problem, so medical diagnosis today means finding a disease.
