I know the full medical term for the disease/condition is systemic lupus erythematosus (that’s a mouth full, eh?). But I don’t get the lupus part. I know “lupus” is Latin for “wolf”, and I just don’t see a connection between a painful, inflammatory, body tissue damaging disease and a wolf. Anyone (especially you medics) know the history or linguistic basis for this disease?
