'allopathic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'allopathos,' where 'allo-' meant 'other' and 'pathos' meant 'suffering.'

'allopathos' transformed into the German word 'allopathisch,' and eventually became the modern English word 'allopathic' through adaptation.

Initially, it meant 'other suffering,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to conventional medical treatment.'
