Cause (medicine)

Cause, also known as etiology (/iːtiˈɒlədʒi/) and aetiology, is the reason or origination of something.

"Etiologies" and "etiologic" redirect here. For other uses, see Etiology.

The word etiology is derived from the Greek αἰτιολογία, aitiologia, "giving a reason for" (αἰτία, aitia, "cause"; and -λογία, -logia).
