    How the English word “disease” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

    DISEASE, noun

    Dizeze. [dis and ease.]

    1. In its primary sense, pain, uneasiness, distress, and so used by Spenser; but in this sense, obsolete.
    2. The cause of pain or uneasiness; distemper; malady; sickness; disorder; any state of a living body in which the natural functions of the organs are interrupted or disturbed, either by defective or preternatural action, without a disrupture of parts by violence, which is called a wound.
    3. A disordered state of the mind or intellect, by which the reason is impaired.
    4. In society, vice; corrupt state of morals.
    All definitions and other forms of “disease”
    1. Political or civil disorder, or vices in a state; any practice which tends to disturb the peace of society, or impede or prevent the regular administration of government.

    DISEASE, verb transitive

    dizeze.

    1. To interrupt or impair any or all the natural and regular functions of the several organs of a living body; to afflict with pain or sickness to make morbid; used chiefly in the passive participle, as a diseased body, a diseased stomach; but diseased may here be considered as an adjective.

    3. To infect; to communicate disease to, by contagion.
    4. To pain; to make uneasy.
