It's the samething as in english.

By the way, the word Malaria comes either from Latin or Italian. I know that Mal means bad and aria means air. Thus, Malaria means bad air.

That makes sense because for many years people thought that the way Malaria was spread was through bad air. If they only knew, King Philip would never had ordered the entire Spanish empire (including Santo Domingo) to be plaster in white from end to end in an attempt to "stop" the spread of Malaria! If they only knew!
