Translations: practice sorcery, use magic, administer drugs, poison
From the root: ΦΑΡΜΑΚΕΥΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This verb means to practice sorcery, witchcraft, or magic, often involving the use of drugs, potions, or charms. It can also refer to the administration of drugs, whether for healing or for harmful purposes like poisoning. In ancient contexts, the line between medicine, magic, and poison was often blurred, as the Greek word 'pharmakon' could mean drug, medicine, poison, or charm. Therefore, 'pharmakeuo' encompasses actions related to all these aspects.
