Definitions

  1. a form of tuberculosis characterized by swellings of the lymphatic glands

Word origin

Borrowed from Latin scrōfulae, a diminutive form of scrōfa (“breeding sow”), because swine were supposed to be subject to the complaint; or by fanciful comparison of the glandular swellings to little pigs.
