EpiDEMic का 'dem' वही है जो DEMocracy में है — जनता। जो बीमारी किसी क्षेत्र की जनता पर एक साथ टूट पड़े, वह epidemic; पूरी दुनिया में फैले तो pandemic।
The 'dem' in epiDEMic is the same as in DEMocracy: the people. A disease that falls upon the people of a region all at once is an epidemic; when it covers the whole world, it becomes a pandemic.
SSC तीनों साथ पूछता है: endemic (एक जगह में सामान्य), epidemic (क्षेत्र में अचानक फैली), pandemic (पूरी दुनिया में)।
