Relating to or effective against weariness or fatigue; able to combat tiredness or exhaustion.
From Greek a- (against) + kopē (weariness, fatigue), with the adjective suffix -ic. Used in medical and pharmaceutical contexts to describe remedies against exhaustion.
Ancient doctors prescribed 'acopic' wines and tonics they believed would fight fatigue—many contained stimulants like opium or coca, accidentally creating the first energy drinks, though calling them 'acopic' made them sound medicinal!
