From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:



  Influenza \In`flu*en"za\, n. [It. influenza influence, an
     epidemic formerly attributed by astrologers to the influence
     of the heavenly bodies, influenza. See {Influence}.] (Med.)
     An epidemic viral infectious disease characterized by acute
     nasal catarrh, or by inflammation of the throat or the
     bronchi, and usually accompanied by fever and general
     weakness; also called {grippe}. It is caused by several forms
     of RNA virus which mutate readily and thereby render vaccines
     prepared against older forms ineffective, often requiring a
     new form of vaccine for each new outbreak.
     [1913 Webster +PJC]

From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

       n : an acute febrile highly contagious viral disease [syn: {influenza},
