Relating to disease or pathological condition that arises from within the body rather than external causes.
From Greek 'endo-' (within) + 'pathic' (from 'pathos,' meaning disease or suffering). This medical term distinguishes internal disease processes from those caused by external agents.
Endopathic diseases are among medicine's greatest mysteries because they arise from the body's own systems going wrong—autoimmune diseases are a perfect example of the body literally attacking itself from the inside.
