    How? I said hysterectomy is named from the disease hysteria. You linked etymologies saying hysteria is from early 19th century and hysterectomy is from late 19th century. That seems to be the same order I said.

      I said hysterectomy is named from the disease hysteria.

      it is not. both words come from greek hystera meaning uterus.

      hysterectomy is removal of uterus, not removal of hysteria,

      That seems to be the same order I said.

      correlation does not equal causality, neither is Post hoc fallacy true.
