Here’s a fun fact you probably didn’t know:

The English word “pharmacy” derives from Greek word "pharmakeia" (φαρμακεία), which means "sorcery," "witchcraft," or "magic" and, in a broader sense, refers to the use of drugs, potions, or spells. It is related to the word pharmakon (φάρμακον), which can mean "drug" or "poison". In biblical contexts [yes, this word is mentioned in the Bible], pharmakeia specifically denotes occult practices, poisoning, and misleading or harmful applications of drugs, rather than morally neutral medicine.
