The term "pharmacognosy" was coined in 1815 by the German physician and botanist Friedrich August Flückiger. It derives from the Greek words "pharmakon," meaning drug, and "gnosis," meaning knowledge. Flückiger used the term to describe the study of medicinal drugs derived from natural sources, particularly plants. This field has since evolved to encompass the study of all natural substances used in medicine.
