Definition: The word "amoebicide" in biblical Greek comes from "ammos," meaning "virus," and "eke," meaning "to kill." It's used metaphorically to refer to a chemical treatment that kills bacteria or viruses, often for treating infectious diseases. The specific medicine is not specified, but it may be a type of antiviral medication. In the Bible, it's mentioned as a method used to clear out and eliminate unwanted entities, typically those responsible for diseases like cholera.
