treatment-caused
Etymology
'therapy-induced' originates from the combination of 'therapy' and 'induced', where 'therapy' comes from Greek 'therapeia' meaning 'healing' and 'induced' from Latin 'inducere' meaning 'to lead into'.
'therapy' changed from the Greek word 'therapeia' to the modern English word 'therapy', and 'induced' evolved from Latin 'inducere' to the modern English 'induce'.
Initially, 'therapy' meant 'healing' and 'induced' meant 'to lead into', but together they evolved to mean 'caused by treatment'.
