Best Answer

A physician is one who practices physic which is an archaic English Ford for healing.

Physic is derived from the middle English word, phisik, meaning health or natural science. This was derived from the Greek word phusikē meaning nature.

Today it can variously mean any medical doctor, more specifically a non-surgeon, or most specifically an Internist.
