Hives Although hives are now generally defined as a rash of itchy red welts on the skin, in the 1800s the term was synonymous with cynanche trachealis, or the croup. The use of the term “hives” in this case is a corruption of the word “heaves,” which describes the patient’s spasmodic convulsions as they attempted to breathe (Mortality Statistics of the Seventh Census of the United States, 1855).
