Anetiological

/ˌænˌiːtiəˈlɒdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Describing a medical condition or disease that has no known cause or origin story, or lacking an understanding of causes.

Etymology

From Greek an- (not) + aitia (cause) + -logical (relating to study or knowledge). This combines the negation prefix with the study of causes to mean 'without known causation.'

Kelly Says

Doctors still use this term for mysterious diseases—when they can't figure out WHY someone has an illness, it's 'anetiological,' which is frustrating because it means they're stuck at square one and have to treat symptoms rather than the root cause.
