Aetiophyllin

/ˌiːtiəˈfɪlɪn/ noun

A chemical compound or substance, possibly a plant-derived alkaloid, though its exact modern use and definition is quite obscure.

Appears to combine Greek aitia (cause) with phyllon (φύλλον, leaf), suggesting a leaf-based substance believed to have causal or medicinal properties, though the term is largely obsolete.
