1.
allergic constitution; a tendency to have allergic reactions
A physical constitution or predisposition that makes a person prone to allergic reactions. Often used to describe people who react easily to pollen, foods, or other allergens.
Composed of アレルギー (allergy, from German "Allergie") and 体質 (physical constitution, bodily makeup). 体質 in Japanese refers to an inherited or long-term physical tendency of the body, not a temporary condition. Saying someone is アレルギー体質 describes them as generally prone to allergies rather than having one specific allergy.
