Colic

The term was adopted into Turkish from the French colique or the English colic, both meaning "intestinal pain". The word's origin traces back to the Ancient Greek kōlikós (κωλικός), meaning "relating to the intestine" or "of the same meaning". This term was derived from the Ancient Greek word kṓlon (κώλον), meaning "intestine", with the addition of the suffix +ik°.
