endemic
含义: Regularly found among particular people or in a certain area; native and restricted to a specific place. In epidemiology, a disease that is constantly present in a region.
Endemic has distinct uses in biology (a species found only in a particular region), epidemiology (a disease consistently present at baseline levels), and general discourse (a problem deeply rooted in a system or culture). It differs from 'epidemic' (a sudden outbreak) and 'pandemic' (worldwide spread). It collocates with 'corruption,' 'species,' 'disease,' 'poverty,' and 'violence.'
