Etymology of MALARIOUS

The word "malarious" is derived from the noun "malaria". The term "malaria" originates from Italian "mal'aria", which means "bad air". This word comes from the Latin words "malus" meaning "bad" and "aria" meaning "air". The term "mal'aria" was initially used to describe the marshy regions of Italy where mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria were prevalent. Over time, "malaria" started to refer specifically to the disease itself, caused by the bite of infected mosquitoes. Therefore, "malarious" is an adjective form of "malaria" used to describe an area or region that is subject to or prone to malaria.
