- 1小兒科（美式拼法；英式 paediatrics。台灣說「小兒科」，中國大陸較常說「兒科」）
Pediatrics is the part of medicine that looks after children: babies through teenagers. It is the American spelling. The British spelling is . People treat the word as a subject name, like mathematics — 'Pediatrics is hard,' not 'Pediatrics are hard.' A doctor in this field is a . A hospital has a pediatrics ward. The word is formal-to-neutral: you see it on doors, in textbooks, and on forms. Though actually, 'a pediatric' is not how we name the doctor; that adjective needs a noun ('pediatric care'). And this ped- means 'child' (Greek), not 'foot' (Latin). A is for feet; pediatrics is for children.
組成From Ancient Greek pais ('child') — the ped- piece — + -iatrics (medical treatment of a kind of patient).
