Definition
A shortened or archaic form referring to an apothecary or a storehouse for medicinal substances.
Etymology
Shortened form of apothecary, which comes from Late Latin apothecarius (storekeeper), derived from Greek apotheke (storehouse). This abbreviation was used in older English texts and documents.
Kelly Says
Medieval apothecaries were like the pharmacists and doctors combined—they'd brew medicines in their apothecs (shops), and some of them were so famous that they influenced how we talk about medicine today.
