From the Medieval Latin caudātus, from the Classical Latin cauda (“tail”).

In acute cases they are rapidly produced, make scarcely an attempt at development, and die off with rapidity; in schirrus they are formed more slowly, and in much smaller numbers, live longer, and make some attempt at caudation, but they are still farther removed in form from the typical cell of healthy tissues.

The caudation or fibrous tendency and the regularity of arrangement is greater than in cancer.

1864, Maurice Henry Collis, On the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer and the Tumours Analogous to it, page 163:

includence

From German Inkludenz, a 1960s neologism coined by Hubertus Tellenbach, derived from Latin inclūdō (“confine, imprison”).

Tellenbach himself explains the melancholic phenomena of includence in terms of the characteristics of the pre-melancholic personality that society explicitly sanctions and promotes.

2008, Thomas Rütten, “Rufus’ Legacy in the Psychopathological Literature of the (Early) Modern Period”, in Peter E. Pormann, editor, On Melancholy: Rufus of Ephesus, →ISBN, page 248, n. 16:

In this context two constellations emerge that characterize the pre-melancholic phase, namely includence and remanence, followed by the radical transformation of the self–world relation into despair.

2017, Giovanni Stanghellini, Milena Mancini, The Therapeutic Interview in Mental Health: A Values-Based and Person Approach, →ISBN, page 139:

Moving from Tellenbach[’s] description of the Typus Melancholicus, we can observe an ongoing evolution toward endogenous depression starting with a pre-melancholic phase. In this stage, three main elements can be described: includence, remanence, and despair.

2020, Giuseppe Sarli et al., “COVID-19 related lockdown: a trigger from the pre-melancholic phase to catatonia and depression, a case report of a 59 year-old man”, in BMC Psychiatry, volume 20, →DOI:
