'allograft' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'allos,' meaning 'other,' and 'graft,' which refers to a piece of living tissue that is transplanted surgically.

'Allograft' was derived from the Greek word 'allos' and the English word 'graft,' forming the modern term used in medical contexts.

Initially, it meant 'a graft from another individual,' and this meaning has remained consistent in modern medical usage.
