ENDEMIC

'Endemic', in a broad sense, can mean "belonging" or "native to", "characteristic of", or "prevalent in" a particular geography, race, field, area, or environment; native to an area or scope.
It also has two specific meanings:

★ endemism, an organism being "''endemic''" means exclusively native to a place or biota

★ endemic (epidemiology), an infection is said to be "''endemic''" in a population when that infection is maintained in the population without the need for external inputs.
