Etymology

The term 'envenoming' is derived from the word 'venom', which comes from the Latin 'venenum' meaning poison. The prefix 'en-' means 'to cause to be', implying the action of causing venom to enter another organism. The concept has been prevalent in the study of toxicology and herpetology, as understanding the process of envenomation is crucial for both medical science and wildlife research. Its usage has expanded in recent times due to increasing interest in the medical applications of venoms, including their potential therapeutic benefits.
