Message definition (Probiotic)
=== Etymology ===
Some literature gives the word a full Greek [[etymology]], but it appears to be a composite of the Latin preposition ''pro'', meaning 'for', and the Greek adjective βιωτικός (''biōtikos''), meaning 'fit for life, lively', the latter deriving from the noun βίος (''bios''), meaning 'life'. The term contrasts etymologically with the term ''[[antibiotic]]'', although it is not a complete [[antonym]]. The related term ''[[Prebiotic (nutrition)|prebiotic]]'' comes from the Latin ''prae'', meaning 'before', and refers to a substance that is not digested, but rather may be [[fermentation|fermented]] to promote the growth of beneficial intestinal microorganisms.
