Definition
A person who prepared and sold medicines and drugs; a historical term for a pharmacist or druggist.
Etymology
From Old French 'apotecaire' from Late Latin 'apothecarius', from Greek 'apotheke' meaning storehouse. Originally referred to anyone who kept a store, but became specialized for medicine sellers in medieval times.
Kelly Says
Medieval apothecaries were part chemist, part herbalist, and part magician - they created remedies using everything from ground pearls and unicorn horn to mercury and arsenic, often with more faith than science guiding their prescriptions.
