Answer 1

From Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia

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"
Rx or legend drug is a legal description in the United States for drugs that are only available on prescription from a licensed medical practitioner but are not controlled substances

Answer 2

The Rx means medical prescription.

Answer 3

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. Not until well into the 19th century was the distinction between the apothecary/pharmacist as a compounder of medicines and the physician as a therapist generally accepted. According to the Pharmaceutical Handbook (nineteenth edition, 1980), the Latin abbreviation Rx is completed by some statement such as "fiat mistura," which means "let a mixture be made," sometimes abbreviated to f. m. or ft. mist. or fait mist.). Pharmacists required a knowledge of compounding until recently. In 1920, 80% of prescriptions were compounds mixed in the shop. In the 1940s the number of prescriptions requiring compounding had declined to 26%, and then to 1% or less in 1971.

Answer 10

God is both a proper name and a generic name, I believe the term actually comes from the German. Capitalize it specifically for the Christian God, lower case for the generic term. God would have been called something different in Biblical times, the best approximation we have is Yahweh from the Hebrew. This is not unusual, I am David in English, Davidi would be more common in certain Italian dialects. Jesus is Jesu in French, Yeshua in Hebrew... A previous poster mentioned Jehova, but although it is used commonly, it was not in the historical record until about 1100 ad, Yahweh was earlier and accepted to be more likely.
