Root Explanation

Immunodiagnosis → It is formed from "immunis" (from Latin, meaning exempt or free from) and "diagnosis" (from Greek "diagnōsis", meaning discernment or judgment). The word refers to the discernment or judgment related to the immune system, particularly in diagnosing diseases.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'exempt' or 'free from' certain diseases through the 'discernment' of the immune system — that's what immunodiagnosis means.
