An alternative or archaic spelling of coniine; a volatile liquid alkaloid poison from hemlock plants.
From Greek koneia, the ancient Greek name for hemlock, later adapted into Latin scientific terminology for the poisonous alkaloid compound.
The word 'conia' links directly to ancient Greek—the very language spoken by Socrates when he was executed with hemlock poison, making this term a linguistic bridge to one of history's most famous poisonings.
