laudanumn.

Brit.

/ˈlɔːd(ə)nəm/,

/ˈlɔːdn̩əm/, U.S.

/ˈlɔdn̩əm/,

/ˈlɑdn̩əm/

Forms: Also 1700s lodanum, 1800s dialect lodlum, Scottish lodomy.

Etymology: < modern Latin laudanum, used by Paracelsus as the name of a medicament for which he gives a pretended prescription, the ingredients comprising leaf-gold, pearls not perforated, etc. ( Opera 1658 I. 492/2). It was early suspected that opium was the real agent of the cures which Paracelsus professed to have effected by this costly means; hence the name was applied to certain opiate preparations which were sold as identical with his famous remedy. It is doubtful whether the word as used by Paracelsus was a fanciful application of laudanum a medieval Latin variant of ladanum n., or was suggested by laudāre to praise or by some other word, or was formed quite arbitrarily.

1. In early use, a name for various preparations in which opium was the main ingredient. Now only: The simple alcoholic tincture of opium.
