Si le terme coronavirus d\u00e9signe le virus, le terme Covid-19 d\u00e9signe quant \u00e0 lui la maladie caus\u00e9e par ce m\u00eame virus. Or \u00ab\u00a0Covid-19\u00a0\u00bb n’est pas tant un nom qu’un acronyme, form\u00e9 \u00e0 partir de la contraction des mots \u00ab\u00a0coronavirus\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0disease\u00a0\u00bb, affubl\u00e9s d’un \u00ab\u00a0-19\u00a0\u00bb en raison de l’ann\u00e9e de sa d\u00e9couverte, 2019. Et l’Office qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois de la langue fran\u00e7aise pr\u00e9cise, dans sa fiche terminologique, la r\u00e8gle qui consiste \u00e0 attribuer \u00e0 un acronyme un genre conforme \u00e0 la langue originale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On constate une h\u00e9sitation dans le genre attribu\u00e9 au terme COVID-19, probablement \u00e0 cause de la confusion entre la d\u00e9nomination du virus (SRAS-CoV-2, masculin) et celle de la maladie (COVID-19, f\u00e9minin). Les sigles \u00e9trangers prennent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement le genre qu’aurait en fran\u00e7ais le mot de base qui les compose. En vertu de cette r\u00e8gle, COVID-19 est de genre f\u00e9minin, car dans la forme longue du terme fran\u00e7ais, maladie \u00e0 coronavirus 2019, le mot de base est maladie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
