toxicumn.

Forms: Plural toxica.

Etymology: Latin toxicum ‘poison’, originally ‘poison for arrows’, < Greek τοξικὸν ϕάρμακον poison (ϕάρμακον) for smearing arrows (τοξικός, τοξικόν, < τόξα plural arrows, transf. < τόξον bow). Τοξικόν = ‘of or pertaining to the bow’, and had originally nothing to do with poison. But the effect of using τοξικόν, toxicum as short for the Greek phrase was to transfer the sense ‘poison’ < ϕάρμακον to toxicum, first as ‘poison for arrows’ and at length as ‘poison’ generally, = Latin venēnum.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈtoxicum.
