【结构分析】apothecary=apo（一边）+theca（放）+ry（人）→仓库+人→仓库管理员、店主→药剂师=词源解析theca←拉丁语theca（放）←希腊语theke（放）←希腊语tithenai（放）=【背景知识】apothecary原本表示“店主”，即存储商品并对外销售的人。由于药品药材易于存放，因此17世纪时该词逐渐专指存储药品药材并对外销售的人。由于在现代只有药剂师才能销售药品，所以该词又可表示药剂师。

小知识
Although the sign at the back of the shop in the old town square said apothecary, most people called the man behind the counter by his modern title, “pharmacist,” instead.
This five-syllable word, apothecary, which entered English in the 14th century, derives from the Latin apothēca, “storehouse.” It became a title for the person who was skilled in preparing medicines. “Pharmacist” is a more common synonym for apothecary. Some contemporary companies and drugstore owners use the old-fashioned charm of the term apothecary to label products they sell.
