/ˌkiːməʊˌsɛnsᵻˈtɪvᵻti/,

/ˌkɛməʊˌsɛnsᵻˈtɪvᵻti/, U.S.

/ˌkimoʊˌsɛnsəˈtɪvᵻdi/,

/ˌkɛmoʊˌsɛnsəˈtɪvᵻdi/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: chemo- comb. form, sensitivity n.

Etymology: < chemo- comb. form + sensitivity n. Compare earlier radiosensitivity n., photosensitivity n., and later chemosensitive adj.

Physiology and Medicine.

The property of being chemosensitive; the degree to which something is chemosensitive.

1940 C. J. Warden et al. Compar. Psychol. II. vii. 596 In the spiders, the distribution of chemosensitivity is still a subject of grave controversy.

1992 Amer. Rev. Respiratory Dis. 145 837 This suggests a familial (presumably genetic) diminished chemosensitivity predisposing to hypercapnia.

2005 N.Y. Times Mag. 2 Oct. (From Cause to Cure Suppl.) 11/3 (advt.) We are developing molecular biomarkers that will predict ‘signatures of chemoresistance or chemosensitivity’, factors that are important in deciding which drug to use initially and adjusting regimens as treatment proceeds.
