Etymology

The term 'hormonal' has its origins in the early 20th century, deriving from the word 'hormone,' which itself is adapted from the Greek word 'hormลn,' meaning 'to excite' or 'to stimulate.' Hormones were first discovered in the late 19th century, with the concept of hormones emerging as scientists began to recognize the complex interactions between various glands and the substances they produce. These substances were identified to regulate many body functions and behaviors, leading to the term 'hormonal' being used to describe anything related to these chemical messengers. The evolution of hormonal terminology coincided with advancements in endocrinology, the study of hormones and their effects on the body, solidifying the importance of hormones in both health and disease.
