semiography

en-noun

semiography (usually uncountable, plural semiographies)

In treating of the semiography of the disease, Dr Hope restores to its place among the rational signs, that of jugular venous pulsation, or turgescence of the jugular veins, with pulsation synchronous with that of the arteries, originally specified by Lancisi, but rejected on insufficient grounds by Corvisart.

1832, J. Hope, “A Treatise on the Diseases of the Heart and Great Vessels, comprising a new View of the Physiology of the Heart's Action, according to which the Physical Signs are explaiend”, in The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, volume 37, number 3, page 403:

The most perplexing part of the semiography and symptomatology is this, that these purulent collections cause almost no uneasy feelings, till by their size they induce distension or painful stretching of the organ, or pressure or tension of some of the surrounding parts.

1848, David Craigie, Elements of General and Pathological Anatomy, page 180:

In other words, the semiography of the disorder connotes a criminal act.
