means A severe, often fatal hemorrhagic fever caused by a virus that spreads through contact with bodily fluids of infected people or animals.

from Named in 1976 after the Ebola River in what was then Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), near where the virus was first identified during an outbreak. Scientists deliberately chose a river name rather than the local village (Yambuku) to avoid stigmatizing the community — a naming convention later abandoned for exactly that reason, since 'Ebola' itself became permanently, globally linked to the disease anyway.
