Etymology
'reaction-generated' originates from the combination of 'reaction' and 'generate,' where 'reaction' refers to a response to a stimulus and 'generate' means to produce or create.
'reaction' comes from the Latin word 'reactio,' and 'generate' comes from the Latin word 'generare,' meaning 'to produce.'
Initially, 'reaction' meant 'a response to an action,' and 'generate' meant 'to produce.' The combination now refers to something produced as a result of a reaction.
