Meaning:
An antipyretic is a medication that reduces fever.
Origin:
The term "antipyretic" was first used in the early 19th century to describe drugs that could reduce fever. The first such drug was quinine, which was extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree and had been used for centuries to treat malaria. In the late 19th century, synthetic antipyretics such as aspirin and acetaminophen were developed. Today, antipyretics are widely used to treat fevers caused by a variety of illnesses, including viral infections, bacterial infections, and inflammation.
