Pathogenesis

In pathology, pathogenesis is the process by which a disease or disorder develops. It can include factors which contribute not only to the onset of the disease or disorder, but also to its progression and maintenance. The word comes from Ancient Greek πάθος (pathos) 'suffering, disease', and γένεσις (genesis) 'creation'.

Not to be confused with Parthenogenesis or Palingenesis.
