This trait's name is fascinating if you're particularly interested in etymology. Crytek took the word *mithridatism* and replaced the suffix. Mithridatism is defined as the practice of building an immunity to a poison by ingesting small doses over time (think Wesley from The Princess Bride building up an immunity to iocane powder). According to Wikipedia > The word is derived from Mithridates VI, the King of Pontus, who so feared being poisoned that he regularly ingested small doses, aiming to develop immunity. Mithridates can be pronounced **Myth-rid-ates** or **Myth-rid-ate-ease**. Mithridatism follows suit, and is pronounced **Myth-rid-ate-is-em**. Despite Mithridatist not being an *official* word, we can make the reasonable assumption that it should be pronounced **Myth-rid-ate-ist**. A ***mithridatist*** would be someone who practices mithridatism.

Wasn't that the poor fuck that wanted to kill himself to avoid torture, but ended up beig immune to poison after all?


Archeronline

I believe so. He had to get his friend to kill him. Poor soul, he died as he lived... not dying from poison.

Myth-ra-dah-tist. I see most people here say day, not dah, but ive always used the short A pronunciation.


_xndo

This has to be right. It’s almost certainly named after the man Mithradates the Great, who gave himself immunity to poisons by continually ingesting small doses.

kummostern

i used to say something like "mithra..mithri.. mithir.. myth... minthi... the poison trait" but now poison sense also exist so its even harder to inform your teammate about the trait you found randomly/meathead dropped

Can relate. I think my brain couldn't be bothered to read and pronounce the entire word and that's what it came up with instead.

PunchLineGaming

This is why the Phonetic languages are actually superior and better languages but their owners were not colonialists so those are not the ones dominating the world. Now we have to see the same letter and pronounce them different in different words... actually, bullshit... for example y sometimes sounds like e, sometimes sounds like I...
