† diacatholiconn.

Etymology: So in Old French (Cotgrave) and medieval Latin, representing Greek διὰ καθολικῶν composed of general or universal (ingredients).

Obsolete.

Old term for a laxative electuary; so called from its manifold composition, or, according to some, from its general usefulness: hence, a universal remedy or appliance. As prescribed by Nicolaus, it was made of senna leaves, pulp of cassia and tamarinds, roots of male fern, rhubarb, and liquorice, aniseed, sweet fennel, and sugar. (Quincy.)
