What is the meaning of the medical term "tussis"?

  1. Morning; before noon

  2. With

  3. Refers to cough

  4. Refers to regularity of heartbeat

The correct answer is: Refers to cough

"Tussis" is a medical term that refers to coughing, making option C the correct answer. Option A refers to the time of day and has no connection to the term "tussis." Option B describes something being "with" something else, but does not relate to the meaning of "tussis" in the context of medical terminology. Option D refers to the regularity of a heartbeat, which is unrelated to the term "tussis." Therefore, option C is the only answer that accurately defines the meaning of "tussis."
