Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'physiological', derived from the Greek 'physis' (nature) and 'logia' (study of), which emerged in the late 16th century, with 'response', from the Latin 'respondere' (to answer or reply). Together, the compound phrase evolved in modern scientific and medical English during the 19th and 20th centuries to describe measurable bodily reactions to external or internal stimuli.
