    词源词根法
    来自tone，身体健康性，-ic，形容词后缀。现词义缩写自tonic water，让身体健康的水，原为一种保健品，因加入奎宁，通常叫奎宁水，引申词义补药，滋补品等，后词义也与toner相融合。

    小知识

    A tonic is something, sometimes a medicine, that makes you feel better or restores you to health. Before doctors prescribed drugs, crooked salesmen sold all sorts of dubious tonics.

    Tonic was used to describe all sorts of concoctions that were supposed to make you feel better or livelier. Some helped and some didn’t. Coca Cola was originally marketed as a tonic — back when it is said to have contained cocaine as well as loads of caffeine. These days we might describe a weekend at the beach or a brisk walk as a tonic, meaning it will refresh you. Others might flee to a gin and tonic — an alcoholic drink.
