Etymology
The term "the allergist" originates from the word 'allergy,' which was coined in 1906 by Austrian pediatrician Clemens von Pirquet. 'Allergy' combines the Greek words 'allos' meaning 'other' and 'ergon' meaning 'work,' referring to the altered reactivity of the immune system. The suffix '-ist' denotes a specialist, so an allergist is a specialist in allergies.
