The word "poison" originated from the Old French term "poison", which had been derived from the Latin word "potio" meaning "potion" or "drink". In Latin, it evolved to "poisonem" meaning "deadly substance" or "venom". The term "poison" has been in use in the English language since the 13th century, referring to any substance that can cause harm, illness, or death when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed.
The word "gas" traces back to the Greek word "khaos", which initially meant "void" or "empty space". In the 17th century, it was borrowed from Dutch as "gas" and used to describe a formless state of matter.
