This term is directly loaned from the English word antibody. Etymologically, it is derived from the prefix anti- meaning against and the noun body referring to biological substances. In Indonesian medical and biological contexts, this term is used exclusively to refer to humoral defense mechanisms. Its usage is highly formal and rarely found in slang variations except as a metaphor for a person's mental or physical resilience against negative influences.
