In the 1300s a disease called the plague killed about 25 million people in Europe. The plague became known as the Black Death because of the black patches that appeared on a victim’s skin. Today people commonly use the word plague in two ways. They use it to refer to the disease itself. They also use it to mean a large outbreak of any dangerous disease. In the second case “plague” has the same meaning as the word epidemic.
