Definition: The English term "antidote" comes from the Greek and has no direct Old Testament analogues in the Bible. Instead, it's likely derived from Latin as a verb meaning to stop or prevent something from occurring. The exact origin is unclear, but it could be a play on words like "drug" or "medicine." In Christianity, the term 'Antidote' often refers to a cure for a disease or illness, and its primary purpose was to help the body fight against harm.
