The word '''occult''' comes from the [[Latin]] word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "[[knowledge]] of the hidden".[1] In the medical sense it is used to refer to a [[structure]] or [[process]] that is hidden, e.g. an "occult bleed"[2] may be one detected indirectly by the [[presence]] of otherwise unexplained anaemia.
