Apothecary \A*poth"e*ca*ry\, n.; pl. Apothecaries. [OE.

Gr. apo, fr. ? to put away; ? from + ? to put: cf. F.

One who prepares and sells drugs or compounds for medicinal
purposes.
[1913 Webster]
Note: In England an apothecary is one of a privileged class
of practitioners -- a kind of sub-physician. The
surgeon apothecary is the ordinary family medical
attendant. One who sells drugs and makes up
prescriptions is now commonly called in England a
druggist or a pharmaceutical chemist.
