'anti-crisis' originates from Greek elements and later Latin/English usage: the prefix 'anti-' originates from Greek 'anti' meaning 'against', and 'crisis' originates from Greek 'krisis' meaning 'decision, turning point' (adopted into Latin as 'crisis').

'anti-' entered English as a productive prefix via Latin and Old French, while 'crisis' entered English from Greek 'krisis' through Latin; the compound 'anti-crisis' developed in modern English (20th century onward) to denote measures or policies opposing crises.

Initially, 'crisis' in Greek meant 'a decision or turning point'; over time it shifted to mean 'a time of danger or acute difficulty', and 'anti-crisis' evolved to mean 'against or intended to prevent/manage such dangerous turning points'.
