Root Explanation

Immunogenetic → It is formed from "immunis" (from Latin, meaning exempt or free from) and "genetic" (from Greek "genesis", meaning origin or birth). The word refers to the genetic factors that influence the immune response.

Think of being 'exempt' or 'free from' disease due to 'genetic' factors — that's what immunogenetic means.
