Composed of アレルギー (allergy, from German "Allergie") and 体質(たいしつ) (physical constitution, bodily makeup). 体質(たいしつ) 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(たいしつ) describes them as generally prone to allergies rather than having one specific allergy.
