Etymology
'immunopotent' originates from the combination of 'immuno-' (from Latin 'immunis', meaning 'exempt, immune') and '-potent' (from Latin 'potens', meaning 'powerful, able').
'immunopotent' was formed in modern English by combining the scientific prefix 'immuno-' with the adjective-forming suffix '-potent', following the pattern of other scientific terms.
Initially, it meant 'having immune power or capability', and this meaning has remained consistent in scientific usage.
