Root Explanation

Immunochemical → It is formed from "immunis" (from Latin, meaning exempt or free from) and "chemical" (from Greek "khemia", meaning the art of transmuting metals). The word refers to the chemical processes related to the immune system, emphasizing the relationship between immunity and chemical reactions.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'exempt' ('immunis') from disease due to 'chemical' processes in the body — that's what immunochemical means.
