The base of the word 'apothecary' comes from Greek and Latin, primarily derived from the Greek word 'apotheke,' meaning 'storehouse.' It signifies the practice of storing and selling medications, integral to the historical role of apothecaries. This etymology reflects ancient medicinal practices and their evolution into modern pharmacy.
