Etymology
Endotoxin comes from endo- meaning 'within' and toxin meaning 'poison', the same root you see in toxic. A helpful way to remember it is as a 'poison within'—these poisons are inside some bacteria and are only released when the cells break or die, which is why they can cause strong illness.
