Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἔμπλαστρον (émplastron, “daub; salve”) which was introduced by Pedanius Dioscorides instead of older (Hippocrates) ἔμπλαστον (émplaston), substantivisation of ἔμπλαστος (émplastos, “daubed on”), from ἐμπλάσσω (emplássō, “daub on”), from ἐν- (en-, “on”) + πλάσσω (plássō, “to mold, form”), of uncertain etymology. Related to Latin plastēs and plasticus.
