OFFICINAL

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 22 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OFFICINAL , a
term
  applied in
medicine
  to drugs,
plants
  and herbs, which are sold in chemists' and druggists' shops, and to medical preparations of such drugs, &c., as are made in accordance with the prescriptions authorized by the
pharmacopoeia
 . In the latter sense,
modern
  usage tends to supersede " officinal " by " official." The classical Lat. officina meant a workshop, manufactory, laboratory, and in medieval monastic Latin was applied to a general
store
 -room (see Du Cange,
Gloss
 ., s.v.); it thus became applied to a shop where goods were sold rather than a place where things were made.
