reaction-induced
|re-ac-tion-in-duced|
/riˈækʃən ɪnˈdjuːst/
caused by a reaction
Etymology
'reaction-induced' originates from the combination of 'reaction' and 'induced', where 'reaction' comes from Latin 'reactio', meaning 'a response', and 'induced' from Latin 'inducere', meaning 'to lead into'.
'reaction' changed from the Latin word 'reactio' and 'induced' from 'inducere', eventually forming the modern English term 'reaction-induced'.
Initially, 'reaction' meant 'a response', and 'induced' meant 'to lead into', evolving into the current meaning of 'caused by a reaction'.
