Are you a word wiz?
  "Toxic" comes from the Greek word for something that is
sometimes poisonous. What do you think the Greek root word of
"toxic" refers to?

  A. a frog
  B. a potion
  C. a mushroom
  D. an arrow

Answer: 
  You're right on target if you picked answer D! An arrow is a
more effective weapon when its point is dipped in poison. The
Greek word "toxon" meant "arrow, bow" and from "toxon" the
Greeks developed the word "toxikon," meaning "arrow poison."
In Latin, "toxicon" became "toxicum," and referred to any
poison. English inherited its word "toxic" from Latin. Most
words in English that derive from Greek "toxon" have to do
with poison, but some go back the original meaning of
"arrow." For example, a "toxophilite" is not someone who
loves poison, but rather someone fond of or expert at
archery.
