The word "Alexiterical" is derived from the Ancient Greek term "alexiterios" (ἀλεξίτερος), which means "a remedy or protection against poison". In Greek, "alexiterios" combines two elements: "alexin", meaning to ward off or protect, and "terios", meaning poison. The term "alexiterical" was later adopted into English, specifically in the field of medicine, to describe something that possesses properties capable of preventing or counteracting the effects of poisons.
