Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'poysoun', from Old French 'poison', ultimately stemming from the Latin 'potionem' meaning 'a drinking' or 'drink' (specifically a medical drink or poison). Over time, the meaning shifted from a general draft to toxic substances, leading to the past participle adjective describing something tainted or affected by venom.
