When something is unhealthy or affected by illness, it's diseased. Sadly, the diseased trees in the city park may eventually need to be cut down and removed.

While this adjective essentially means "sick," it's not generally used to describe people. Instead, you might use it for plants, animals, or body parts: "Hepatitis can result in a diseased liver." Diseased comes from the Old French desaise, "discomfort or sickness," from des-, "without," and aise, "ease."
