单词 officinal
释义

officinaln.adj.

Brit. /ˌɒfᵻˈsiːnl/, /əˈfɪsᵻnl/, U.S. /əˈfɪsən(ə)l/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin officinalis.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin officinalis (adjective) used as a household storeroom or workshop (11th cent. in a French source), (of remedies) made to a standard (1674 or earlier), (of plants) used as a remedy (1702 or earlier) < classical Latin officīna officina n. + -ālis -al suffix1. With use as adjective compare French officinal (c1530 in Middle French apparently in sense ‘relating to a workshop’; 1672 in remède officinal; 1783 in plantes officinales), Italian officinale (1758; 1783 in pianta officinale).Classical Latin officīna (see officina n.) was applied in post-classical Latin also to a store-room of a monastery in which provisions, medicines, or necessaries of any kind were kept for use (9th cent.). In later use it seems to have been extended, like ‘shop’, from a work-shop to a sale-shop. In monastic Latin officinalis domus, officinale (both 11th cent.) occur also in the same sense as officina.
A. n.
A medicine kept as a standard or stock preparation (see sense B. 1). Obsolete.
