Entogenous

/ɛnˈtɒdʒənəs/ adjective

Definition

Originating or produced from within; internally generated or developed.

Etymology

From 'ento-' (within) + Greek 'genous' (produced, generated). The term describes something that arises from inside rather than from external causes.

Kelly Says

An 'entogenous' illness comes from inside your body, not from a germ you caught from someone else—it's your body creating the problem itself!
