Remedies or treatments that restore health by eliminating disease or medical conditions. Can also refer to solutions to problems or the process of healing.
From Old French 'cure,' derived from Latin 'cura' meaning 'care, concern, or attention to something.' Originally referred to the care given to someone, later specifically to medical treatment and recovery.
The evolution from 'care' to 'cure' reflects humanity's eternal hope that attentive care will lead to healing. While modern medicine has developed actual cures for many diseases, the search for cures continues to drive medical research, from cancer to Alzheimer's disease.
