Word origin

The term 'immunologically' is derived from the word 'immunology', which comes from the Latin word 'immunis', meaning 'exempt' or 'free from'. The suffix '-logy' comes from the Greek 'logia', meaning 'study of'. The word 'immunology' was first used in the mid-19th century to describe the scientific study of the immune system's functions and mechanisms. As the field developed, the adverb form 'immunologically' emerged to facilitate discussions of processes and functions related to immunology. It is predominantly used in the medical and scientific communities to describe phenomena linked to the body’s immune responses, including vaccination, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
