#133: "drogue" – translation decision needed

opened by TillmannTaape

Search occurrences of "drogue" and make decision. Should drogue drogue be translated as "drug"? Does it referred to medicines/remedies, or dried ingredients in general?


ps2270 commented:

A search shows that it seems to mean ingredients in general; the same use as in Palissy. DMF: a remedy. Cotgrave: "drug"; OED: "Originally: any substance, of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin, used as an ingredient in pharmacy, chemistry, dyeing, or various manufacturing processes."

Decision: translate with "drug". I've added an entry in the Protocol as follows: “drug,” meaning any substance used as an ingredient in various making processes.
