Etymology
The phrase "a enfermeira de angiografia" combines Portuguese words where "enfermeira" means nurse, derived from Latin 'infirmarius' meaning 'attendant to the sick,' and "angiografia" comes from Greek roots 'angio-' meaning vessel and '-graphy' meaning writing or imaging. Thus, it literally means 'nurse of vessel imaging.' Did you know that angiography was first developed in the early 20th century to visualize blood vessels?
