My Italian is rusty, and I don't have a dictionary here, but if I have
to guess, then I suppose that it means "self-curing". This may be
related to therapy ("terapia"), but still, why does it show up in the
results even though the word doesn't appear there?

Does the Wikipedia search engine have clever handling of synonyms or
related words? As far as I know it's quite basic, but I'll be happy to
be surprised.

Or does the word appear in an old version of a page? I couldn't find
it in any recent version.
