Word origin

The term 'drugstore' has its origins in the early 19th century, deriving from the combination of the word 'drug' and 'store.' The word 'drug' itself can be traced back to the Old French 'drogue,' which means a substance used for medicinal purposes. In the late 1800s, with the growth of pharmacy services and the retail sale of health goods, drugstores began to emerge as important establishments within communities. These stores not only provided prescriptions but also a variety of consumer products. The concept of a drugstore expanded over the decades, incorporating items like cosmetics, personal care products, and even grocery items, reflecting changes in consumer needs and shopping habits. Today, drugstores are often one-stop shops that cater to a wide range of health and personal care needs.
