释义

medicationn.

Brit. /ˌmɛdᵻˈkeɪʃn/, U.S. /ˌmɛdəˈkeɪʃ(ə)n/
Forms: late Middle English medicacion, late Middle English medicacioun, late Middle English medicacoun, 1600s– medication.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin medicātiōn-, medicātiō.
Etymology: < classical Latin medicātiōn-, medicātiō < medicāt- , past participial stem of medicāre , medicārī (see medicate v.) + -iō -ion suffix1. The classical Latin noun is attested only in the sense ‘treatment of food or wine with a preservative, flavouring, or sim.’ ( Oxf. Lat. Dict.), in Columella and Pliny, both of whom also use the verb in a corresponding sense. The sense ‘treatment, curing’ is attested from the second half of the 5th cent. in post-classical Latin, and from the 10th cent. in British sources; the sense ‘medicament, drug’ is attested from the late 13th cent. in British sources. Compare Old French, Middle French medication group of remedies which constitute the treatment of an illness (1314; French médication).
