Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'immunitas', meaning exemption from military service, public burden, or tax, formed from 'immunis' (exempt, free from), combining 'in-' (not) and 'munus' (service, duty, gift). Over time, the semantic scope expanded from legal and political exemptions in Middle English to biological resistance in the 19th century.
