**IV.b. Care** [43–46]

The Spanish and Portuguese vocables "Cuidar" and "Cuidados" fall short of representing its multiple meanings within this context. The question to try *The Challenges Facing Palliative Care Advocacy: What Is in a Name? DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.97367*

to answer is: could this happen because it ignores certain conceptual aspects such as those of "that I care about the other", "care", "pay attention", "assist", "give assistance to", "medically treat." beyond "hacer curas" (wound and dressing management) and "curar" (cure in English) that has been reduced to in the Spanish language (while trying to offer its whole range of attentions)?

Origen

Old English *caru*, *cearu* "sorrow, anxiety, grief," also "burdens of mind; serious mental attention".

Late Old English "concern, anxiety caused by apprehension of evil or the weight of many burdens,"

Proto-Germanic \**karō* "lament; grief, care" (source also of Old Saxon *kara* "sorrow;". The primary sense is that of inward grief, and the word is not connected, either in sense or form, with L. cura, care, of which the primary sense is pains or trouble bestowed upon something. [Century Dictionary].

Old High German *chara* "wail, lament;" Gothic *kara* "sorrow, trouble, care". Dates from c. 1400

Meanings.


The sense in *care o*f in addressing (1840).

d. Meaning "object or matter of concern" is from 1580.

To take care of "take in hand, do" is from 1580s; take care "be careful" also is from 1580s.

2. Verb Dates from

a. Old English *carian, cearian.*

Meanings

a. "be anxious or solicitous; grieve; feel concern or interest,

b. "from Proto-Germanic \*karo- "lament," hence "grief, care".

Source also of Old Saxon karon.

"to lament, to care, to sorrow, complain," Old High German *charon* "complain, lament,"

*Gothic karon* "to be anxious"), said to be from PIE root \*gar- "cry out, call, scream" (source also of Irish *gairm* "shout, cry, call;").

If so, the prehistoric sense development is from "cry" to "lamentation" to "grief." A different sense evolution is represented in related Dutch *karig*

"scanty, frugal," German *karg* "stingy, scanty." It is not considered to be related to Latin cura. Positive senses, such as "have an inclination" (1550s); "have fondness for" (1520s) seem to have developed later as mirrors to the earlier negative ones.
