Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Greek words 'allos' (meaning other or different) and 'pathos' (meaning suffering or disease), coined in the 19th century by the founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, to designate treatments that produce effects different from those of the disease being treated. Over time, the term was adopted into general medical lexicon to describe conventional or mainstream scientific medicine as distinguished from alternative or homeopathic practices.
