Morphology
hormesis = hormone (opaque) = horm + esis
A technical scientific coinage from a Greek combining form; the specific meaning ('low-dose beneficial effect') is specialized and not predictable from common English words like 'hormone'.
Etymology
Hormesis comes from a Greek root hormē meaning 'a stirring' or 'impulse', and is related to hormone, which means 'to set in motion'. That's why hormesis describes how a small push or stress can 'wake up' repair systems and be helpful, while a larger push becomes harmful.
