Treated with medicine or containing medicine; having a medical substance added to help treat an illness or condition.
From Latin 'medicatus,' past participle of 'medicare' (to heal or cure), derived from 'medicus' (physician). The word entered English through medical terminology in the 16th century.
The Romans had 'medicare' (to heal), which became both our word 'medicated' and inspired the name 'Medicare'—the US health program literally borrowed a 2,000-year-old Latin word for healing!
