neutral  António Ribeiro: aetiotaxy (inglês???) é a unica ocorrência no Google. O Webster não inclui o termo. Além disso, não me parece que tenha relação alguma com Etiologia (ver definição). Mas, concorda que têm significados diferentes?

  -> I know what 'etiologia' means, I'm Greek and these are Greek words, (a)etiology and (a)etiotaxy. Some scientific/philosophical terms are not found in dictionaries. Thanks for the feedback.//Yes, I agree. It's either a typo or a new, very specific term
