what is meaning of rx in medical language
Medical prescription 'â„ž' is a symbol meaning "recipe". It is sometimes transliterated as "Rx" or just "Rx". This symbol originated in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation of the late Latin verb recipere, specifically the second person singular imperative form recipe meaning "take", thus: "take thou".[3] Originally abbreviated Rc, the c was simplified and finally written as a straight stroke making it look like an x in combination with the right "leg" of R. Medieval prescriptions invariably began with the command to "take" certain materials and compound them in specified ways.[4]
