Etymology
Medicament entered Romanian from French médicament, which itself descends from Latin medicamentum. The Latin word is built on medicari, meaning to heal or treat, with the noun-forming suffix -mentum attached to name the result of an action. So medicamentum originally meant the thing produced by treating or healing, a remedy.
