Historical definition
Sirza is eschara.
Meaning
This is a compact synonym entry. Its useful information is the historical target form, which should be followed in the surrounding text before further identifying the material or condition.
Use in the book
The entry does not provide a cause or a treatment. Retaining a separate searchable record prevents the less familiar spelling from disappearing inside the better-known headword.
Compare Escara, also given as Estphara, where the dictionary describes black and dead flesh caused by a caustic. That is a useful related entry to consult when following the target form eschara; the original spelling in the present definition remains visible.
