Where does “nephrotoxicity” come from?

I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I notice the chain provided is for "toxicity" not "nephrotoxicity," and it contains duplications and circular references that don't form a valid etymological path. Could you provide the correct etymological chain for nephrotoxicity? It should show the progression from English back through earlier languages without repetitions. For example, it might trace through: - English nephrotoxicity - English nephrotoxic - [Greek/Latin elements for "kidney" + "toxic"] Once you clarify the chain, I'll write an accurate one-sentence summary following all your rules.
