etiology
Significado: The study or investigation of the causes and origins of a disease or condition. In British English, the preferred spelling is aetiology.
Aetiology encompasses genetic, environmental, infectious, and behavioural factors that contribute to the development of disease. It is a cornerstone of epidemiology and pathology, guiding both prevention strategies and treatment decisions. The term is also used more broadly in philosophy and social science to denote the study of causation.
