- laudanum
- laudanum: [16] Laudanum, the name of a tincture of opium, a forerunner of modern heroin and crack, was coined by the 16th-century Swiss physician Paracelsus. He used it for a medicine of his own devising which according to the prescription he gave out contained all sorts of expensive ingredients such as gold leaf and pearls. It was generally believed, however, that the reason for the medicine’s effectiveness was a generous measure of opium in the mixture, and so in due course laudanum came to have its current use.
It is not known where Paracelsus got the name from, but he could well have based it on Latin lādanum ‘resin’, which came from Greek ládanon, a derivative of ledon ‘mastic’.
中文词源
词根pont-表桥，与日耳曼词源的find同源，而-cello指小，所以ponticello的字面意为“小桥”，特指弦乐器的琴桥。好玩的是，cello也是个单词：cello ['tʃeləʊ] n.大提琴，更好玩的是，ponticello还指变声期男孩的声音，因为那是连接青年和少年的桥梁。
