Plural of dosage; the measured quantities of a medicine or substance to be taken at one time or in a specific period.
From 'dose' (from French 'dose,' from Greek 'dosis' = a giving, from 'didomi' = to give) + '-age' suffix (French/English suffix for action or process). The word originally meant 'an amount given,' especially medicinally.
The word 'dose' comes from the same Greek root as 'anthology' (a collection of 'givings')—so both words are about giving, but one is about giving medicine and the other about giving texts!
