Chirurgeon

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Chirurgeon (pronounced: ky-RUR-jun) is an Andorian language equivalant for the word for "surgeon".

Ghee P'Trell was a prominent chirurgeon on Andoria. (DS9: "Prophet Motive")

An Andorian word remarkably similar to the same term in English, which comes from the Greek phrase meaning "works with the hands". The modern word "surgeon" is a derivative.
