Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French agaric; Latin agaricum, agaricus.

In sense A. 2 after post-classical Latin and scientific Latin Agaricus (1719 in J. J. Dillenius; 1753 as genus name: see note at sense A. 2).Compare Old Occitan agaric (1397), Catalan agàric (1455 as †agarich), Spanish agárico (c1381), Portuguese agárico (15th cent.), Italian agarico (1310; end of the 13th cent. as †agarigo).

A. n.

1. Originally: the bracket fungus Fomitopsis officinalis, which grows mainly on larch; a preparation of this, formerly used medicinally chiefly as a laxative and purgative. In later use also: any of various other bracket fungi, esp. Fomes fomentarius and Phellinus igniarius; a preparation of such a fungus, used as a styptic or as tinder (cf. amadou n., German tinder n. 1). Also figurative. Now historical.The fungus Fomitopsis officinalis has been called female agaric, larch agaric, purging agaric, and white agaric. The bracket fungi used for other purposes were sometimes called male agaric.
