What does ELIXIR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sweet or medicinal liquid, or a legendary potion thought to cure every illness or prolong life.
In old alchemy the elixir was the great goal of the work, a substance that could turn base metal into gold or keep a person alive without end. Pharmacists later borrowed the word for a sweetened, alcohol-based medicine that hides a bitter taste. The word reached English through medieval Latin from an Arabic term for a powder used in such preparations. Today elixir is just as often a figure of speech for anything that seems to restore energy or spirits.
