A doctor or medical practitioner who practices allopathy, the conventional system of medicine that treats diseases with drugs or procedures that produce effects opposite to the symptoms.
From allo- (other) + -path (disease, treatment). Coined in 19th-century medical terminology by homeopaths to describe conventional medicine practitioners.
Allopath is actually a term homeopaths created to criticize regular doctors, but regular doctors didn't really care about the name—they were too busy curing actual diseases.
