An archaic or dialectal term for bismuth or a bismuth-based medicine or treatment.
From 'bismuth,' possibly a dialectal or older variant form. The simplification shows how technical terms sometimes lose syllables as they're used more colloquially.
Old technical terms often get shortened by regular people—'bisme' for bismuth is like how doctors say 'labs' instead of 'laboratory results,' showing how language naturally streamlines over time!
