Where it comes from
原是翻譯自梵語和巴利語的多種詞彙，包括梵語 खपुष्प (khapuṣpa，“天上的花”)，以及幾種植物的名稱，如梵語 दिव्यपुष्प (divyapuṣpa，“夾竹桃”，字面意思是“天堂-花”) / 巴利語 devapuppha、梵語 शालपुष्प (śālapuṣpa，“木芙蓉”，字面意思是“房屋-花”)。
如何發展成為指代疾病的名稱，目前尚不明確。可能是由於疾病造成的膿皰與佛教中的花瓣形狀相似。對比藏語 ལྷ་འབྲུམ (lha 'brum，“天花”，字面意思是“天-膿皰”)、མེ་ཏོག (me tog，“花；（方言）天花”)、蒙古語 ᠰᠠᠯᠬᠢᠨ
ᠴᠡᠴᠡᠭ (salkin čečeg) / салхин цэцэг (salxin ceceg，“天花；水痘”，字面意思是“風-花”)。
