The word pulmonary means âlungâ and the word fibrosis means scar tissue â similar to scars that you may have on your skin from an old injury or surgery. So, in its simplest sense, pulmonary fibrosis (PF) means scarring in the lungs. But, pulmonary fibrosis is more serious than just having a scar in your lung. In PF, the scar tissue builds up in the walls of the air sacs of the lungs, and eventually the scar tissue makes it hard for oxygen to get into your blood.
Storch is a German surname meaning Stork. Notable people with the surname include: 1  Ambrosius Pelargus (c. 1493 â 1561), German Dominican theologian (real last name Storch)  Arthur Storch (1925â2013), American actor and Broadway director.
Etymology[edit] From Middle High German storch, storc, from Old High German storah, *storc(h), from Proto-Germanic *sturkaz. Cognate to dialectal Dutch stork, English stork, Swedish stork. The expected German form is also Stork, which was indeed in wide use, but has not become standardized. The shifted variant Storch, from Old High German storah, is due to the common use of epenthetic vowels in the latter language. Similar variants existed in other words with -rk, but they have otherwise been eliminated.
