Etymology
The word 'pill' originates from the Latin term 'pillus', which means a small ball or round object. It's believed to have evolved through the Old French 'pille', denoting a small rounded mass, especially one taken for medicinal purposes. The use of pills as dosage forms became prominent in the 19th century, with advancements in manufacturing techniques that allowed for more precise and efficient ways to encapsulate medications. The transition from the original Latin use to today's understanding reflects the evolution of medicine and pharmaceutical practices. The term 'pilled' captures the action of taking or forming these small medicinal forms and highlights the integration of pills into modern health practices.
