Cesarean section?

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

The term originates from 'caedere' (to kill), not from 'Caesar', but 'Ceasar' has the same origin.

I assume because during that era mothers died after this operation?

The operation also often was performed when the mother was dying or about to.
