absinthe  

Definition

  • The beverage known as absinthe has a long and storied history that often obscures the reality of the drink's properties as well as its origins. The name absinthe is derived from the plant Artemisia absinthium (popularly referred to as wormwood), native to temperate portions of Eurasia and Africa.
