Whenever we go to a pharmacy, we see a sign saying RX. What does that mean ?

Answer 1

The simple, quick answer--but not the only (or most romantic) one--is that Rx is an abbreviation for the Latin word "recipere" or "recipe," which means "Take, thou." In the days before manufactured drugs, apothecaries (who were also doctors) would write out a formula for medications. They would mix up and compound ingredients to make drugs or remedies.

Answer 2

(From Wikipedia)

Rx can refer to:

* the symbol that originated in medical prescriptions. "℞" (also written as "Rx") and "medical prescription" are sometimes used interchangeably. The use of ℞ in prescriptions originated as an astrological symbol that was written for talismanic reasons at the start of medical prescriptions. Later it changed into ℞ (an uppercase R with its tail crossed), and was used as an abbreviation for the Latin word recipe = "take" (imperative), i.e. an instruction to the pharmacist to take the items listed in order to prepare the medicine. When printing came, it was rendered as "Rx"
