caused by conflict
Etymology
'conflict-induced' originates from the combination of 'conflict' and 'induced', where 'conflict' comes from Latin 'conflictus', meaning 'a striking together', and 'induced' from Latin 'inducere', meaning 'to lead into'.
'Conflict' changed from the Latin word 'conflictus' and eventually became the modern English word 'conflict'. 'Induced' transformed from the Latin 'inducere' to the modern English 'induce'.
Initially, 'conflict' meant 'a striking together', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a serious disagreement or argument'. 'Induced' has largely retained its meaning of 'caused or brought about'.
