  2. (by extension) To determine the cause of a problem.
    • 1962 October, M. J. Wilson, “Three years of dieselisation at Devons Road depot”, in Modern Railways, pages 262, 264:
      But in the early days of the scheme the new machines created some problems for the fitters, who found them over-complex and their faults hard to diagnose after many years' experience of small, simple steam locomotives.

Usage notes

  • Some argue that to "diagnose with a disease" is an incorrect usage because the verb takes the physician as subject and a disease as object.
