hydrotic, a. and n. Path.|haɪˈdrɒtɪk|
[Erroneously for hidrotic, sudorific, ad. Gr. ἱδρωτικός, f. ἱδρώς sweat, through confusion with the better-known derivatives of ὑδρο- hydro-; the mis-spelling has to some extent influenced the sense. Cf. F. hydrotique (‘mot barbare et qui mérite d'être effacé’ Littré).]
A. adj. Sudorific; also sometimes in wider sense, from the erroneous spelling, Causing a discharge of water.
B. n. A sudorific medicine, or in wider sense, a hydragogue.
