therapy: therapy: [19] Greek théraps denoted an ‘attendant’. From it was derived the verb therapeúein ‘attend, administer treatment to’, which itself produced two further derivatives: therapeíā ‘treatment’, which gave English therapy, and therapeutés ‘person who administers treatment’, source of the adjective therapeutikós, from which English gets therapeutic [16].
therapy (n.): 1846, "medical treatment of disease," from Modern Latin therapia, from Greek therapeia "curing, healing, service done to the sick; a waiting on, service," from therapeuein "to cure, treat medically," literally "attend, do service, take care of" (see therapeutic).
