Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the scientific term 'allergy', coined in 1906 by Austrian pediatrician Clemens von Pirquet from the Greek words 'allos' (other, different) and 'ergon' (work, activity). The adjectival form 'allergic' emerged soon after to describe a hypersensitive bodily reaction to environmental or dietary agents.
