The application of a concept to that which it is not literally the same but which
suggests a resemblance and comparison. Medical metaphors were widespread in ancient
literature; the description of a sick body was often used by ancient writers to define
a critical condition of the State, in which one corrupt part can ruin the entire system.
(From Med Secoli Arte Sci, 1990;2(3):abstract 331)
