How it's used
Medical professionals use this term to describe the structural or functional alterations in cells or tissues caused by disease. Unlike general terms for sickness, it specifically highlights the physical transformation or deterioration of biological matter. It is almost exclusively found in clinical, diagnostic, or academic contexts rather than casual conversation.
Examples
The doctor said his tissue has developed pathological changes.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person who is simply feeling unwell or has a common cold. It is a technical term reserved for specific, observable changes in anatomy or histology, not for general symptoms like a headache or fever.
